Which reminds me, in the manual page under 'RESERVED CAPABILITIES' we
have the

passwordtime      time                Used by passwd(1) to set next pass-
                                           word expiry date.

settings.  These are listed as 'non supported by the base system' yet
have the warnpassword option under 'AUTHENTICATION'.  There is no
Xref to pw(8), and the pw(8) manual page is a little difficult to
follow for new users.

I'm not really saying we should rewrite the pw(8) manual page, but
the login.conf(5) manual page could use a touch up with regards
to the things I listed above.  If no one here objects, I'll do
this sometime soon.  /me == busy.
