There is an errata in the WC cdrom which states that a login.conf file
may
not transfer when installing. The fix is to cp from the second disk
/usr/src. I'm unable to find such a file on either disk, or on an
earlier
release. What must the file contain, and in what syntax? I'll try
creating it myself, unless that is prohibitively difficult for a
neophyte.
I think these are related. I created a simple login.conf file, based on
information in the man pages containing the following:
default:\
shell=/bin/csh :\
minpasswordlen=6
root:\
tc=default
and it took care of the login_getclass errors.
