Yes, there are few words about one should run 'cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf'
after each change. But this is not what I propose to add to the manual page
and /etc/login.conf is not a manual page by itself. At first I wasn't pay
attention to these lines at all because I already read the manual and I
instinctively wasn't expected to find any new information in
/etc/login.conf. FreeBSD 4.8 Errata have a much better explanation than
lines 3 and 5 on /etc/login.conf. Why not to add something like that to the
login.conf(5) manual page?

By the way, do you know why hushlogin attribute doesn't work from the
~/.login_conf or how it can work from there? Thank you in advance.
