Provided that your PAM library is up to date and you have etc/pam.d/login rev 1.7 (mergemaster is your friend!), login(1) should behave just like it used to. There's still a chance that something will crop up, though, so I'd recommend against upgrading systems you can't easily boot into single-user mode to fix a broken PAM config. If you run into trouble you can't get out of on your own, contact me by mail or on IRC (EvilDES on EFNet) and I'll try to figure it out ASAP.
