I noticed that RELENG_6's getcap.3 says
cgetent() will first look for files ending in ``.db'' (see cap_mkdb(1))
before accessing the ASCII version of the capability database.
But the webpage at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/users-limiting.html
says
Note: The system does not read the configuration in /etc/login.conf
directly, but reads the database file /etc/login.conf.db. To generate
/etc/login.conf.db from /etc/login.conf, execute the following command:
# cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf
This conflicts or is confusing.
>How-To-Repeat:
Look at manual page and at handbook and try to decide if
I need to use login.conf.db.
>Fix:
Please update manual page or handbook as appropriate.
