Look at usr.bin/passwd/Makefile,v 1.45 and the subsequent commit
that removed usr.bin/passwd/local_passwd.c.

Aah, this is a separate issue.  The other items I removed are not
implemented, and they never have been implemented since the
creation of the login.conf manpage six years ago.  A little while
ago, I was thinking about writing a daemon to enforce some
accounting limits.  If I ever get around to writing one and manage
to get it integrated into the base system, I will be sure to
document it in the appropriate place.

FWIW, ports/sysutils/blimitd adds support for one of these
options, but I think the general consensus is that system manpages
should not document third-party utilities.
