Hey there, i was just trying to install Thinkfinger. When running make, I get an error saying "unrecognized commandline option 'strip--all'" Looking for an answer on the net i found some comments saying that stip-all is obsolete and should just be removed. So i did a grep -R "--strip-all" and found the parameter in pam/Makefile. I removed it. Trying to run make again led to another problem. When runnig gcc the makefile returns an error saying "undefined reference to main" What can I do here? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, guni |

Hi, I am trying to implement fingerprint based fileprotection. I need to generate a unique key for a fingerprint scan. So that I can use that key for encryption. In the next scan, using the key generated we can decrypt the file. Is it possible to implement file protection using libthinkfinger ? Happy Hacking, Sarath |

Cc: thi...@li... Subject: Thinkfinger + xorg server 1.7.1 = no carriage return Hi, I hope that this project isn't as dead as the repository at sourceforge looks like ... I have just upgraded my gentoo based T60, where I use thinkfinger for authentification, to xorg-server-1.7.1. Now I need to press enter after I swipe my finger again. Gentoo is using 3 patches against the 3.0 tarball: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/sys-auth/thinkfinger/files/0.3-carriagereturn.patch?view=markup http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/sys-auth/thinkfinger/files/0.3-direct_set_config_usb_hello.patch?view=markup http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/sys-auth/thinkfinger/files/0.3-tftoolgroup.patch?view=markup I have also tried the plain 3.0 without any patches, but it doesn't work either. I tried compiling it with debugging info, but then I just get a hell lot of lines like usb_bulk_read (0x40/0x40): 4369616f00501428110000000020010000000000000000000000009bdc1b8c62161d6d7c293e74883932a98c361d5c929a0de9b228167c30b95400000000f699 when trying to su.

Hi,
Some time ago I have installed and configured Thinkfinger in my Archlinux
system. It worked well, but it was very slow! I had to wait 5 to 10 seconds
for the prompt to show, then a bit more before I could swipe my finger or
write my password, and then a bit more for the password to be accepted.
So, I've downloaded the development version and I've tried to find out why
it was being so slow. After some tests, I've found out that decreasing the
value of USB_TIMEOUT in libthinkfinger.c improved the situation. I've
written a very short post on this:
http://www.joaoff.com/2009/06/30/making-thinkfinger-faster
According to the comments on that post, I'm not the only one who had this
problem. So, I'm writing this email to let you know that this is an issue
and that it seems to exist a very simple fix. (I'm sure that this fix
creates problems somewhere else; maybe if I try to use an usb fingerprint
reader?)
Anyway, I hope someone knows how to fix it in a better way.
Regards,
Joao
PS: thanks to the authors for writing this excellent piece of software :)

Hi I am having a problem with thinkfinger-0.3 in an embedded Arm9 board (ATMEL AT91sam9263-EK) with linux. I tested on Angstrom RFS as well as debian Armel Lenny RFS. Using kernel 2.6.28 patched for At91sam9263. The driver and commands work very well in a normal Debian PC. While the #tf-tool works well in normal Linux PC, it gives the following error always on the Atmel board, be it Arngstrom or Armel file system. Please help me to get this fixed. We thought it could be a problem with power supply. But after giving an external power of 5V--2.0A , the output is the same.

Dell is masking it under one of the 413c vendor keys. Can you install windows and give us the USB ID of the reader? Simply run "devmgmt.msc", go to "Biometric" (or maybe HID section), double click on the device there, go to "details" and tell us the USB ID stuff, should be VID and PID key.

Hi Marco,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I skipped Cygwin since I am trying to produce a native win32 binary of TF. I was thinking that Cygwin produces non-win32 native binaries and needs the Cygwin environment to run unlike MinGW.
But, maybe it's worth a try. I'll keep the group posted on the Cygwin compile.
Best regards,
Mike

Have you tried Cygwin? Maybe TF works inside cygwin, though I'm not sure about that.

Hi,
Does anybody in this lists have any luck compiling thinkfinger-0.3 under Windows XP using MinGW to produce win32 executable?
I tested the Fedora Core 8 binaries by installing it using yum and it works on my Lenovo Preferred Pro Keyboard with Finger scanner. I was hoping to use it for both Linux and Windows connecting clients in our application, but I can not get past through the test compilation issues.
I would appreciate any assistance or suggestion. Below are the steps I took and the errors I encountered:
Thanks,
Mike
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Download pthreads-w32-2-8-0-release.exe and Install from pre-build.2:
cp ./libpthreadGC2.a /mingw/lib/libpthread.a
cp ./pthreadGC2.dll /mingw/bin/
cp ./pthread.h /mingw/include
cp ./sched.h /mingw/include/
cp ./semaphore.h /mingw/include/
(2) Follow QueueUserAPCEx folder Instruction, reboot
(3) Download gtk+-bundle-2.12.11.zip and unzip it to C:\Installer\Biometric\gtk
(4) Download libusb-win32-device-bin-0.1.12.1.tar.gz and unrar it, copy corresponding
libs, .a, .h, etc to /mingw/<folders>

I think you have a file /etc/pam.d/gdm or /etc/pam.d/kde3 (or similar) Normally, the first line is like auth include system-auth (or similar, depends on system) In my system tf works even on 64bit (with xscreensaver), the only place it does not is the login manager - excactly like in your situation. The solution is to comment this line (put "#" as first character) and in place of if put all lines from included file, but without the one with thinkfinger. To do this you have to run in console (so, when you are prompted to enter the user/pass just press ALT+CTRL+F1 and then login in console). You can of course attach this disk to another computer and change them offline. -- hope this helps, zgibek |

Hi, I tried to install tf but I think it failed big time. Unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge about Linux to fix it on my own (I am pretty new to it). I am running Debian Lenny and installed tf from source. Having rebooted gdm asks me for the username which I enter. Afterwards the message "Validation failed" pops up immediately and I have to enter my username again. I never get the chance to actually enter a password. These are the information I can give right now: - In /etc/pam.d/common-auth the only line is "auth required pam_unix.so" - There is no folder /etc/thinkfinger (what is it actually called?) where the finger prints are saved (I forgot to create finger prints). I'd appreciate if someone could tell me how to login to my system again - anyhow! If you need further information please let me know. I can boot into single user modus. Cheers, Torsten |

Hello all, I am attempting to do some development with the tf-tool and i was wanting to try to output the data that is stored in a .bir file to either the keyboard buffer (so it can be dumped into a textfield to play with) or just to the console. So far im not having a lot of luck with this. If anyone here can suggest where i should be looking i would really appreciate it a lot! Thanks, -Ian |

Hi all, Please support the following device: UPEK, Inc. TouchChip TFM ESS ( 0x147E:0x2016 ) More info can be found here: http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdescr.php?id=4325 http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=4325 This device is not detected properly in Hardy. $ lsusb|grep 147e Bus 002 Device 002: ID 147e:2016 this should result in something like Bus 002 Device 002: ID 147e:2016 UPEK, Inc. TouchChip TFM ESS or at least Bus 002 Device 002: ID 147e:2016 UPEK, Inc. Please contact me for further details or testing support for this fingerprint reader.

Hello! I'm wondering if there's a possibility to use the fingerprint reader on my Thinkpad X60s as a scrolling device. I've "googled" the subject and it does seem possible :) But I guess I need some custom software tough... And that's where you guys 'n' gals in this mailing list come in? Best regards Simon Lundmark |

Hello I am trying to find a working solution to my fingerprint reader. Although thinkfinger looks like a mature working solution, it doesn't work in my laptop. On the other hand, fprint ( http://reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page ) works fine, but it is still practically for test purposes. Have you ever considered of joining these two projects? -- Panayotis |

Variations on this are requested frequently. The problem as I see it is that your fingerprint is not the same on every scan, so it can't be used to decrypt anything. A BIR file is a set of guidelines for accepting / denying a print based on features. At that point you have to find somewhere to hide the true decryption key and only allow access to it after print verification. The only place I can think of that might allow this is the fingerprint reader itself, and I don't know if it does that. Storing it on disk means someone can ignore the access part by pulling the disk and placing it in another computer. The access control and storage must be married at the hip, so to speak, if such a scheme can be remotely considered secure. There's another obstacle to your proposed use case: fingerprints are not at all secret. It's likely your laptop screen has a usable print on it. There's all sorts of shenanigans going on lately with prints. A group demonstrated that a gummy bear is sufficient to defeat a scanner, and recently a German official's fingerprints were widely published as protest of a statement along the lines of "Fingerprints are not private information". I know the conclusion's a bit tragic, as I too have uses for this in principle -- NetworkManager stores WEP keys, a known breakable algorithm, in a keyring. If the device is found to be able to store some data in addition to the print on the chip itself, it might change this entire sad story. Justin Dugger |

Hi. I'd LOVE not having to type my passphrase every time I want to send a signed e-mail with Evolution. If I instead could just swipe my finger - I'd be a much happier person. :) Is this at all possible? Could you somehow somewhere store the passphrase with a bir file and have the output piped to gpg ... :P I have no clue at all if this is doable, but it'd be something I'd use every day. Thanks for all your work! Fredrik Wendt |

Drake has a very clear understanding of the fingerprint reader technologies and is now doing stuff that could and probably should be merged in with Thinkfinger. I like that Thinkfinger is simple and effective, but there are expanded capabilities that would be nice if they were present and available. Judging only by the content of a short discussion and the contents of his site, I'd say his expertise and knowledge are so far beyond my own that I couldn't measure it. I love projects like these because the potential to do things better than Windows is clear and present. |

Here are more details: http://www.reactivated.net/weblog/archives/2008/03/asynchronous-fingerprint-scanning/ http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page It might be a good idea to join forces or keep an eye on it.

No. It's generated only in enrollment mode after 3 successful stages (and is not a hash but a complete data structure representing a fingerprint). Daniel |
