+      The GDM login screen now handles fingerprint and smartcard
+      authentication differently.  Instead of processing fingerprint,
+      smartcard and password authentication in sequence, the login
+      screen accepts all forms of authentication at the same time.

+      This change may affect upgrades for users that have previously
+      manually modified their
+      <filename>/etc/pam.d/system-auth</filename> files without using
+      the Authentication configuration utility.  Depending on the nature
+      of the modifications, similar changes may need to be added to
+      <filename>/etc/pam.d/password-auth</filename>,
+      <filename>/etc/pam.d/fingerprint-auth</filename>, or
+      <filename>/etc/pam.d/smartcard-auth</filename>.
