+In order to enroll new finger prints, you must have r/w access to the
+usb device node(s) of your finger print reader (e.g. /dev/ugen*)
+(tested with UPEK finger print reader as found in Lenovo T61).
+
+It is recommended to use devfs.rules(5) and a dedicated group to manage
+access to your finger print reader.
+
+Example configuration:
+- /etc/rc.conf:
+devfs_system_ruleset="localrules"
+
+- /etc/devfs.rules:
+[localrules=10]
+add path 'ugen0*' mode 0660 group operator
+
+# /etc/rc.d/devfs restart
+
+Read `pam_fprint_enroll --help' to learn about enrolling fingers.
+
+The security/fprint_demo port contains the graphical `fprint_demo'
+application that allows you to manage your finger prints in a comfortable
+way.
+
+After enrolling fingerprints for your user(s), you can enable finger
+print authentication by adding the following line to the corresponding
+PAM configuration file(s) (see the PAM documentation and the pam_fprint
+web site for more information).
+
+auth sufficient %%PREFIX%%/lib/pam_fprint.so
+
+/etc/pam.d/system is used for system-wide defaults,
+/etc/pam.d/{gdm, kde} are used by the GDM/KDM login managers.
