I had the same problem with 2.2.6-R. The reason is: If the home directories are exported without root access for the remote system, the login program cannot look for the .login_conf in the users home. The bug has been fixed in -stable shortly after 2.2.6-R was published. I compiled the login program from -stable to fix the problem. Similar problems may arise with ftp access (ftpd) but I'm not sure.
