What you do is, edit your login.conf.
then,
# cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf

then, add the user to the class:
# chfn user

In the visual editor, type in the name of the class you would like
to add him to, and exit.

That's it. I don't think it requires any kernel options. Please
correct me if I'm wrong.
