>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

	FreeBSD 2.2.2-Release, all platforms

>Description:

	After installation, there is no /etc/login.conf file, so
	when login or inetd accesses the root class, a syslog message
	is displayed:

	May 24 23:18:13 host login: login_getclass: unknown class 'root'
	May 24 23:25:03 host inetd[253]: login_getclass: unknown class 'root'

>How-To-Repeat:

	Install FreeBSD 2.2.2-Release

>Fix:
	
	The login.conf file has a lot of options and defaults.  It
	probably should exist with the default values for the default
	class, and a set of relatively secure values for the root class.

	This would make it easier for someone first dealing with the
	file to have a template to work with.  It would also eliminate
	the messages noted above when the system is first built.

	The syslog messages are NOT a bug, they're probably a good way to
	alert a system administrator that the /etc/login.conf doesn't exist.
