I think I'm just dense, but I can't for my life figure out how to use
this login.conf thing.  I copied the file from /usr/src/etc, edited
it, called cap_mkdb on it, rebooted the system, but whatever I do I
just get:

## limits -C root
Resource limits for class root:
  cputime          infinity secs
  filesize            65536 kb

  memorylocked        29740 kb
  maxprocesses-cur       64
  openfiles-cur         256

This system is -current (built just a few hours ago).

David, what about adding a handbook chapter for it?  (I suggest
"login.conf for idiots" ;)
