 login.conf is a capability database like any other and therefore
 follows the syntax described in the getcap(3) man page.

Yes, which is basically restating my point, namely that if you don't
already understand how it works the man page is of no use to you. :) I will
produce diffs sometime soon.

ignoretime in login.conf??

1999-08-04 Thread Doug
I'm doing some research on resource limits and I can't find any
information at all on the ignoretime capability that's in
/usr/src/etc/login.conf. A 'grep -iR ignoretime *' in /usr/src didn't
return any hits outside of the login.conf files in /usr/src/etc and the
picobsd stuff. Does anyone have any information on what this is or what
it's used for? If not, perhaps it should be removed from the examples?

Also, the 'boolean' option is essentially undocumented in the
login.conf man page. It's mentioned once, but there is no example of how
it works or the fact that the @ sign is the symbol for it. The info is in
login_cap(3), but it's hard to decipher for a non-programmer. I'll put
this on my list if no one else wants to take it, and submit a PR.
