A little investigation and ...

Somewhere along the way a new file has been created that should be in the
/etc directory: login.conf.  This file contains the stuff that
login_getclass() and friends are looking for.

I just copied /usr/src/etc/login.conf as /etc/login.conf and the message
no longer appears.  

Of course there seems to be a lot of stuff in login.conf that should be
modified by anybody not just running a workstation setup like me.
