login.conf:
# Define classes: 
# Super users - root, toor, (root priviledged).
# Psuedo users - daemons, uucp, nobody (unpriviledged user).
# Regular users - Joe Blow user (includes me), this is also the
default.

superuser|Users with root priviledges:\
	ignorenologin:\
	login-backoff=2\
	login-retries=5

psuedouser|Psuedo users who do not log in:\
	hushlogin:\
	nologin=/var/run/nologin:

user|default|Normal users:
	nologin=/var/run/nologin:\
	path=/bin /usr/bin /usr/pkg/bin /usr/local/bin:\
	requirehome:
What I was trying to do is change where shutdown puts 'nologin' because
/ is mounted read-only and I wanted it to move to /var/run instead of
/etc. From other posts it seems other things work with login.conf, but
this particular feature doesn't seem to. I have used cap_mkdb, but what
should the resulting file be named and where should it be (I think the
file is /etc/login.conf.db for me)? Does this feature work in 1.6.x
and/or current?
