Update of /cvsroot/src/usr.bin/login
In directory netbsd1:/var/slash-tmp/cvs-serv6690

Modified Files:
        login.1 login.c 
Log Message:
Several things:
* Change the semantics of the `-s' option somewhat.  If specified, allow
either Kerberos or S/Key login, but not a plain password.
* Eliminate the special `s/key' password; just type it at the prompt.
* Remove the root instance special case.  This is a serious security hole
waiting to happen, and no other system works this way.
* Don't force a password change if Kerberos was used.  Also, don't call
/bin/passwd at all if the password change isn't required.
