Hello Roger - Dustin and I have talked about this feature request in the
past.  The bug was marked wishlist because we don't feel that it is in
the best interest of the core eCryptfs developers to implement.  If
someone submitted a high quality patch that added the ability to use
fingerprint readers, we would be dumb not to seriously consider it for
inclusion, but it is unlikely to get fixed otherwise.

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

User request, it seems a good wishlist item to me...

"It does not seem currently possible to use this solution in combination with a fingerprint reader, since the pam module has to intercept the login password. Is this going to be a possibility in the future?" -- woutersj
