Waiting for Dererk to reply, here what I can say. The situation has not changed so much, according to the upstream News section: <http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fprint> News * 2008-11-23: Bastien Nocera has been doing a lot of work on fprintd and has put out a request for testing in Fedora. Please note, however, that the mailing list as well as the Git repositories are still active: <http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fprint/> <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/> <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libfprint/fprintd/> So, basically, we should move to fprintd (and pam-fprintd). When this will happen, however, is still unknown. If needed, I am all in favor of a complete removal of pam-fprint. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
