It's one good reason to stick with the good ol' BSD standbys in the base system (ftpd, cron, inetd, etc...) rather than port replacements which are not natively LOGIN_CAP aware. There are exceptions. The "user [username]" option in hosts.allow *doesn't* switch login classes. In fact, most (all?) programs in /usr/src/contrib are not LOGIN_CAP aware. sendmail is an exception. -Paul.
