Fingerprint reader program?

[penguin7009]

Does anyone know if there is a program in linux/kde4 to get the fingerprint system working \

Thanks, penguin

I don't know if there is the needed software in our repos, but the following looks to be helpful:

The fingerprint reader is an INSECURE device and gives a false sense of security! There has been quite a bit of research by a hacker named Starbug, a member of the Chaos Computer Club, Berlin, Germany. He outlined in two very good talks how to forge each and every available fingerprint sensor available at the cost of a few euros, using materials from your local hardware store, a digicam and a laser printer! Here's some links:

..if you are still interested and can't find the software in the repo's, make a package suggest and I'm sure someone will get to it soon.
