If I run 'cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf' after the /etc/login.conf was changed
the hushlogin attribute works. But I can't find any way to make hushlogin
attribute work from the ~/.login_conf. Running 'cap_mkdb ~/.login_conf'
doesn't help. Is it possibly to make the hushlogin attribute work from
~/.login_conf file?

P.S. IMHO the login.conf(5) manual page should say something about the
/etc/login.conf.db file and its preferable usage by login(1).
