Perhaps :-
* The login.conf class 'test' you've created hasn't been set as the
login class for the user 'test'?
pw user mod -n test -L test
* You forgot to rebuild /etc/login.conf.db after editing /etc/login.conf:
cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf
Oh, and you probably want to modify your test login class a little:
test:\
:openfiles=15:\
:tc=default:
or you won't get any reasonable settings for a bunch of other stuff.
Cheers,
Matthew
