        SSH can do pam authentication.

Not sure the driver will work in FreeBSD..
There is bioapi in ports though.

Oops. looks like ports wins again.. security/bsp_upektfmess


The driver should work fine locally. But using it remote (via ssh etc)
is probably a no-go because verification of the fingerprint records are done by UPEKs driver at the hardware level.

The only way as I see it (to even make it possible with UPEKs driver)
is to have a reader at both the remote machine and the client machine
and then capture a BioAPI record at the client machine and have the server verify it. But that involves transferring the record in a secure
way to the server.
