>Description:
Before FreeBSD-4.8-RELEASE there was only /etc/login.conf, but no
/etc/login.conf.db (at least i could not found this file on our
approx. 20 FreeBSD machines; however this constellation worked, i.e. the
plain text file was used instead of the hash db (i tested that)).
When installing FreeBSD-4.8-RELEASE login.conf.db apparently is created, but
this is mentioned neither in the "4.8-RELEASE Release Notes" nor in the
corresponding "Errata".
I noticed this problem, because our (so far sufficient) automatic editing of
/etc/login.conf of course didn't show up in /etc/login.conf.db and thus was
ignored.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD-4.8-RELEASE and look after /etc/login.conf[.db]
>Fix:
Mention the newly created /etc/login.conf.db in the Errata.
