Hi!

I've just tried to configure fingerprint authentication using 
security/fprintd port (installed from package).

It seems that it does not work 'out of the box'.

To get it working I needed to fix the following points:

- in 
/usr/local/share/polkit-1/actions/net.reactivated.fprint.device.policy - 
change all lines <allow_any>no</allow_any> to <allow_any>yes</allow_any>

- copy the DBUS configuration file ./data/net.reactivated.Fprint.conf 
from the distrib of fprintd (I used 1.90.7 version - 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/fprintd/-/archive/v1.90.7/fprintd-v1.90.7.zip) 
into /usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.d

Now  fingerprint reader works correctly.

Globally, the software seems to be really old, it would be nice to 
update it.

Best regards,

Peter
