Bug ID: 291649
Summary: COPYRIGHT in login classes/login.conf(5) does not work
Product: Base System

The copyright in login.conf(5) does not take effect.
According to
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/d6719cfbe106665cad6c5cbaaead92c343523741
, users need to manually copy /COPYRIGHT to /etc/, since /etc/COPYRIGHT does
not exist by default. However, after I copied it manually, the contents of
COPYRIGHT did not appear either before or after login. I suspect interference
from the motd service, but disabling motd still did not make the COPYRIGHT text
appear. My system is a fresh installation of 15.0-RELEASE. No third-party
software has been installed, and this applies to both the root user and the
user I created, ykla. Additionally, there is no .hushlogin file in their home
directories that would prevent display. I believe this might be a bug.
