Script for enabling the fingerprint reader with BioAPI

The following script automates the installation of the fingerprint software for some Linux distributions. It covers most components (bioapi framework, driver, pam_bioapi, pam setup and enrolling), and handles all the downloading, patching and installation.

Everything is intalled into /opt/bioapi, so it doesn't pollute your filesystem. The only files affected outside /opt/bioapi are the ldconfig configuration, PAM configuration and a few symlinks in /lib/security.

For details, manual installation and hints for other distributions, see How to enable the fingerprint reader

Usage: just copy into a file and run.

Distributions supported by this script

• Fedora 4

If you add support for additional distributions, please update this script (using conditionals where necessary) instead of branching it.
