But the webpage at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/users-limiting.html says Note: The system does not read the configuration in /etc/login.conf directly, but reads the database file /etc/login.conf.db. To generate /etc/login.conf.db from /etc/login.conf, execute the following command: # cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf This conflicts or is confusing. >How-To-Repeat: Look at manual page and at handbook and try to decide if I need to use login.conf.db. >Fix: Please update manual page or handbook as appropriate. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
