>Description:
	The history page for login_cap(3) says
	     The login_getclass family of functions appeared in NetBSD 1.5.
	While this is true, it might be more polite to our benefactors to
	say
	     The login_getclass family of functions first appeared in BSD/OS,
	     and appears in NetBSD 1.5 by kind permission.
	or something similar.  It is relevant to a potential user that the
	'login.conf' implementation is compatible with the BSDI one, and it's
	polite to give credit in the documentation, even if the license
	doesn't explicitly require it.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Work for BSDI.  Contribute code to NetBSD.  ;-)

	(I didn't write the code, but I was involved in getting a copy to the
	guy who did the port, I believe.)

>Fix:
	Just a couple kind words.  :)
