Subject: Whence /etc/login.conf? - 2.2.2-RELEASE

Why is /etc/login.conf not installed when I install a 2.2.2-RELEASE
system?  I've generally been doing plain vanilla "Kern-developer"
installs, but this also happened on a machine where I has a full /usr/src
tree.

There is a login.conf in /usr/src/etc, and just copying it to /etc fixes
the problem, but I'm wondering if I could be doing something wrong that's
preventing this file from being copied.
