>Number: 91938 >Category: docs >Synopsis: conflicting information in handbook/users-limiting.html and getcap(3) manual page >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-doc >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Wed Jan 18 07:00:20 GMT 2006 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Jeremy C. Reed >Release: 6 >Organization: >Environment: >Description: I noticed that RELENG_6's getcap.3 says cgetent() will first look for files ending in ``.db'' (see cap_mkdb(1)) before accessing the ASCII version of the capability database. 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:
