PR 19755 seeks to teach nologin(8) to look for .nologin files in a user's home directory. However, I feel that such knowledge is better obtained via the nologin capability in login.conf. Basically, file and program capabilities should perform tilde expansion. Libutil already does tilde-expansion for path capabilities, although the implemention would certainly be different for files/programs. The problem is that the libutil interface does not differentiate between strings, files, and programs. User-land utilities call login_getcapstr() to get capabilitiy values for any of these types. What would be needed is a separate interface, login_getcapfile, specifically for files/programs. Unfortunately, this would then require modifying all user-land utilities to use the new interface. Is this acceptable? Is so, I'll have patches together for review shortly.
