--H42GZzeTnltQoJLf

There is a reference in both man pages and source files to
the user class being a pointer to a "termcap-like" capabilities
and attributes database. I assume that support for this is not
completed, or has ceased. Is this a FreeBSD-specific project,
or is it tied to bsd 4.4lite? I could use this sorts of hook
in an accounting system I'm developing, and was wondering to
whom I might speak for mor information on the subject.

Specifically, I need to know:

 1) Is this a FreeBSD specific facility, or is it a bsd one
    (involving not only FreeBSD developers but the others)?

 2) How much work has already been done already in terms of 
    standardising user attributes (and what they are),

 3) What existing code supports the facility, and how much
    freedom exists to expand the concept to cover user/session
    accounting in general.
