            Bug ID: 220839
           Summary: Locale not being set from login.conf.db
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: scratch65535 at att.net

To get thousands separators in file sizes, I added values (0x2C) for
thousand_sep and thousep in /etc/login.conf, and called cap_mkdb to update the
db.

Inspection of /etc/login.conf.db showed that those vars were now defined.

But when I logged in again and called locale -k, the values were again/still
the empty string.

Even saving a copy of login.conf as ~/.login.conf, per the docs, and
cap_mkdb'ing there, too, made no difference.

Apparently there's some locale data hardcoded somewhere that's being used,
while the config files and their databases are being ignored.
