On further inspection, I see that login(1) is not being called, but login(3) seems to be. The shell in use shouldn't matter, because the shell itself should be run under the user's limits. > All I *do* know is that I use sshd to login regularly and the login > capabilities I set in /etc/login.conf do take effect ok.

There are some limits that aren't implemented, but if the users can change a limit, that's not what's happening here. Of course, users can always *lower* their limits, and they can raise their soft limits up to a maximum of the hard limit (that's what the distinction is for).
