Speaking of privacy/security concerns... (back on topic)

Does anyone know if someone has reverse engineered a Linuc driver/app
for Microsoft's fingerprint readers?

The hardware is pretty inexpensive compared to the officially
Linux-compatible readers... and I thought it might be interesting to
have fingerprint authentication on a linux box... perhaps as a password
replacement either got login or for a password safe...

Anyone know of such a monster?  Sourceforge seems to have the answer of
"no".
