Jordan;

I see a login.access in the /usr/src/etc directory but no login.conf.  I
do have the kernel sources installed, I just recompiled my kernel.  So a
I missing something? Where is login.conf?  Is the ERRATA.TXT wrong?  I
copied login.access to /etc, but the login_getclass error message
persists.  Any help would be appreciated.

Randy
