Description:
When using thinkfinger and linux kernel > 2.6.28, the password prompt takes at least 5 seconds to appear. The issue and patch are discussed there: http://www.joaoff.com/2009/06/30/making-thinkfinger-faster/ So far, applying this patch solved the problem in my case. Additional info: * package version(s): 0.3-2 Steps to reproduce: - install the current thinkfinger package. - run tf-tool --add-user <your_login> to generate bir file. - follow http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Thinkfinger#.2Fetc.2Fpam.d.2Fsudo to add sudo support. - run: sudo -k && sudo -s. |

Concerning this issue, I have been testing several values for USB_TIMEOUT inlibthinkfinger/libthinkfinger.c .
5 is quite too low, 50 seems perfect here.
