Thanks to all for the latest feedback.

At this point, I'm marking this bug 'Triaged', which should be a marked
upgrade from 'Won't fix' ;-)

For the reasons that I've previously mentioned (I don't have a
fingerprint reader, and wouldn't use one even if I did), I personally
won't be implementing this.

However, as my cohort Tyler says, if someone comes forward with a good,
working, tested patch, I would certainly merge support into the eCryptfs
upstream codebase.  It should be quite possible to implement, as a
generic PKCS-11 token within the existing eCryptfs key module framework.

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
