Description dschultz 2003-02-05 15:30:11 UTC 
The login.conf(5) manpage contains outdated information about what
capabilities are actually supported.  The included patch removes the
now-unsupported minpasswordlen and minpasswordcase options, and
provides a reference to the PAM module that has replaced them.  The
patch also adds a note that many of the accounting facilities mentioned
are not implemented in FreeBSD, though at least one of them is supported
by third-party software in ports.  In the long run, some of the options
should eventually be removed from the manpage altogether.
