When installing FreeBSD-4.8-RELEASE login.conf.db apparently is created, but this is mentioned neither in the "4.8-RELEASE Release Notes" nor in the corresponding "Errata". I noticed this problem, because our (so far sufficient) automatic editing of /etc/login.conf of course didn't show up in /etc/login.conf.db and thus was ignored. >How-To-Repeat: Install FreeBSD-4.8-RELEASE and look after /etc/login.conf[.db] >Fix: Mention the newly created /etc/login.conf.db in the Errata. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
