FWIW, I think we should start a new bikeshed, because I'm having trouble
finding the old one. As far as I can tell, the conversation went:
<das> Hmm. Dynamic linking for nologin might raise security concerns,
I'll update the man page.
<rwatson> Why not statically link?
<das> Because it's a shell script.
<rwatson> Maybe we should just make it a binary.
<das> Ok, I've committed it.
<wes> Wait, I have a version I've been maintaining in ports that's a bit
more featureful, perhaps we should commit that?
<collective silence>
So it sounds like there's lots of room for refinement, no real objection
to refinement, but since we've just entered a code freeze, any refinement
should be carefully discussed with re@. :-)
