            Bug ID: 247620
           Summary: cap_mkdb detects but does not stop reference loop
                    errors in login.conf
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: mike@elite.uk.com

If a loop is created in /etc/login.conf, for example by including :tc=3Ddef=
ault:
in the default class, cap_mkdb will issue a warning:

"cap_mkdb: potential reference loop detected"

but still write a non-usable database.

Once this has happened authentication attempts fail with "PAM account
management error: Error in service module"
