   Yes, I did.  And I posted to -current, saying "this is what I'm planning
on doing, does anyone object?".  And nobody objected.

   As bde has already pointed out (by private email), it's not clear why
nologin is in /sbin anyway.  I was going to bring this up on -current
later this week, but I wonder if the optimal solution would be to have
/sbin/nologin compiled without syslog support and /usr/sbin/nologin
built from the same source but with syslog support enabled.
