1. Record-names _must_ start on column 1.

2. The last line of a record should not end in `\'.

3. If it does, then the next line must be a blank line, even for the last
   record in the capfile (like your `default', above).

4. If a `.db' file exists, then that's used, even when a newer capfile exists.
   (For small files like `login.conf' don't bother making a `.db' file.)
