	/etc/login.conf has a ``;'' where a ``:'' should be. This causes
	services run from inetd such as ftp and telnet to fail because inetd
	barfs on reading /etc/login.conf.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Run the following to get a diagnostic:

	 $ cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf

>Fix:
	
	Apply the following patch, and add a final newline to quieten diff:
