Public bug reported:
When running sudo /usr/lib/pam-thinkfinger/pam-thinkfinger-enable to
enable the thinkfinger pam module, the script corrupts the /etc/pam.d
/common-auth file to the point that its not possible to log in to the
machine again, necessitating a rescue-mode manual fix or a
reinstallation.
After running the sciprt, the common-auth file is truncated so that only
the line for pam_unix.so and the lines above it remain. Also the
pam_thinkfinger.so module is not actually enabled.
I'm using libpam-thinkfinger version r118-0ubuntu3 from Interpid.
