>Environment:
Sorry, don't have my machine on the net, but I just installed 2.2.8-RELEASE
from ftp6.freebsd.org two days ago.
>Description:
The file format for the password file is different depending on which
man page you look at -- chpass(1) and passwd(5).  passwd lists the fields
as ...., class, change, expire, .... and chpass lists the fields as
...., change, expire, class, .....

I know that 2.2.8-RELEASE chpass lists it this way, and your man pages 
on the web site for 2.2.7-RELEASE list it this way as well.

At least this explains why I couldn't get login.conf to work :)

(I've submitted two minor doc bugs so far, but I want all of you people
to know that FreeBSD is freaking awesome!  I come from a Solaris background
and it's taking me a bit of getting used to, but I LOVE IT!)
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Change the chpass(5) man page.
