Hi All,

I've been following 2_2_RELENG using cvsup for sometime now. In the
last couple of weeks the following error has been appearing when I log
in as root or when I su to root

Jul 24 08:58:22 ClayPipeDip su: login_getclass: unknown class 'root'

I've had a look at the man pages for login_getclass, but that didn't
do me much good. It seems that it has something to do with /etc/login.conf
but my system doesn't have one, and there isn't a /etc/login.conf on 
the 2.2.2 live file system either.

Anyone able to help?
