Subject:   Making my login class capabilities database work right on 2.2.5
Message-ID:  <B0000112998@library.rcpl.org>

Two problems have been a minor source of irritation to me while I've used
2.2.2 and 2.2.5. 
 First, I haven't been able to get the class capabilities
database to work.  I was alerted to this problem when I first logged on to the 
console:
Feb  6 13:15:56 bogushost login: couldn't resolve 'tc=' reference in 'login_getclass'

Since then, I've tried restoring the login.conf file to the "out of box" version,  I've looked for incorrect syntax, and I've tried "tweaking" it in order
to rid the file of "tc=" references. 
Going by the man page documentation, I couldn't find any problems with
 login.conf, so I tried rebuilding "login" and then as much of /usr/libexec as
 I knew how.  No success, although I could have overlooked something.
  Does anyone know precisely what the binaries are that I need to rebuild 
in order to make my system read login.conf without any complaints, or is/was
there a patch available?

I'm also wondering whether anyone out there using xdm has gotten "sessreg" 
to work right, that is, does your X session show up in "who"?  I'm not very
literate in C, but I think the source code for "sessreg" says that *BSD
OS's can't use DISPLAY values like ":0" in "utmp".  Perhaps this is a question
that should be directed at the XFree86 folks, but  there have been a few
other usenet gripes about it.

Thanks in advance for the input...
