    fprint for multiple users

    I want to configure my laptop to use the fingerprint reader since I dont like having things that dont work, and I'm getting sick of entering passwords all the time. However, my pangolin laptop is used by both myself, and my wife. Is it possible to use fprint to manage both of our fingerprints (we both log in as the same user), or will she have to resort to passwords, while I can use the reader?..or will my system blow up.

    Your computer will blow up.

    Actually, that's a great questions. We've not tried it, but I suspect it will work.

    The fprint config file is global, but the fingerprint-user associations *should* work.

    I googled it and didn't find anything pertinent on it, so give it a whack. We'll check it out on this end as soon as we can.
