Description Dr. Markus Waldeck 2006-08-02 14:30:12 UTC 
/etc/login.conf contains following text:
# Note that since a colon ':' is used to separate capability entries,
# a \c escape sequence must be used to embed a literal colon in the
# value or name of a capability (see the ``CGETNUM AND CGETSTR SYNTAX
# AND SEMANTICS'' section of getcap(3) for more escape sequences).

Unfortunately this information is NOT available in the man page of login.conf.

Fix: 

Add the descprition.
How-To-Repeat: man login.conf
