  Modified:    lib/libc/sys  getlogin.2
  Log:
  Add a dire warning about misusing the setlogin() system call.  Be very
  explicit that it is global to the entire "session", and that setsid() or
  daemon() are need to have been called at some point.
  
  The most notable offender of setlogin() misuse is XFree86's xdm.
