+ <title>Login Changes</title>
+ <para>
+ 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>.
