I was debugging some problems in an /etc/login.conf file and noticed an
oddity that seems like a mistake, but before I submitted a PR I thought
I'd ask. In the entries for root (both auth and capapbilities) there is
a :\ at the end of the record where it seems like only a : is expected.
Here are the relevant entries:
auth-root-defaults:\
:auth-login=krb_skey_or_passwd,passwd,kerberos,skey:\
:auth-rlogin=krb_or_skey,kerberos,skey:\
root:\
lots of stuff
:tc=auth-root-defaults:\
Everything works as expected with these trailing \'s removed, although
I'd not noticed a problem with them in place. If there is some reason
that these are needed, perhaps a comment in the file would be in order
to help people like me? :)
On a related note, the :priority key word doesn't seem to take negative
values. I didn't play with it much though.
Hope I'm not too far off base,
Doug
