If it's a path type object, the ~ and $ stuff are already in there,
so if you want to use literal values, you have to escape them (\~),
per the login.conf man page.

Anyway, I think that this probably represents the first useful thing
that login.conf has ever done for anyone (besides killing their
process, running them out of file descriptors, and, in general, not
supporting the SEcureCard stuff.  8-)).

Good job!  I think this stuff should be committed, post-haste!
