distinction between the OS copyright message and the message displayed
gratuitously to each user at login. Because, well, they may be
different, among other things, and boy can a copyright message each

"passwordtime" is what passwd(1) has actually been using. I suspect

from /etc/rc, including inetd and it's children, stuff from
/usr/local/etc/rc.d (eg: squid, apache). The default limits are causing
a lot of problems including things like fsck failing on large disks.
I hope I've understood the quirks of the override mechanism properly.
Among bumping several limits, most interesting thing is that
