Probably belongs in -current rather than -scsi.

Noticed that in shutdown.8 (keep trying to type "sendmail" here).
I see /etc/login.conf has the default user set to honor
:nologin=/var/run/nologin:\
Apparently updating my login.conf cured my nologin lockout problems due
to the above line as:
nospam: [1009] ls -l /etc/nologin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 41 Jan 16 21:27 /etc/nologin
nospam: [1010] ls -lu `which shutdown`
-r-sr-x--- 1 root operator 149920 Jan 16 20:32 /sbin/shutdown*
nospam: [1011]
Now that's interesting. /etc/nologin is newer than shutdown was last
used. Think that's because I've started using control-alt-delete of
recent. What does control-alt-delete launch that would create the above
nologin file as I need to update that too? But am still concerned
whatever it is is not unlinking it before system halt.

Arrgh. Now I see it. My /usr/include/paths.h is from November 8. This
accounts for shutdown.
So what else creates /etc/nologin? Short of a new "make world" I need
to update paths.h and build a new shutdown. But what else?
And is there a way to extract the above commit message out of cvs? Do I
need to cvsup something special other than src-all? Only recently
subscribed to cvs-all (and -current) and wonder if that's the only place
to get it?
