Yeah, I did cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf and as I said root sees the
changes.  However, regular users never see anything set in
/etc/login.conf, even the default FTP_PASSIVE_MODE.  Also, before I ran
the cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf, /etc/login.conf.db didn't exist.

Something seems fishy with all this.  Is something broken?
