Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was debugging some problems in an /etc/login.conf file and noticed an oddity that seems like a mistake, but before I submitted a PR I thought I'd ask. In the entries for root (both auth and capapbilities) there is a :\ at the end of the record where it seems like only a : is expected. Here are the relevant entries: auth-root-defaults:\ :auth-login=krb_skey_or_passwd,passwd,kerberos,skey:\ :auth-rlogin=krb_or_skey,kerberos,skey:\ root:\ lots of stuff :tc=auth-root-defaults:\ Everything works as expected with these trailing \'s removed, although I'd not noticed a problem with them in place. If there is some reason that these are needed, perhaps a comment in the file would be in order to help people like me? :) On a related note, the :priority key word doesn't seem to take negative values. I didn't play with it much though.
