>Description:
updating changes to /etc/login.conf and running cap_mkdb does not cause login(1) to have altered configuration. only removing /etc/login.conf.db did cause the use of altered configuration.
>How-To-Repeat:
edit /etc/login.conf to your likings (mine):

default:\
        :path=/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/X11R7/bin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/pkg/bin /usr/pkg/sbin /usr/local/bin:\
        :umask=022:\
        :datasize-max=2048M:\
        :datasize-cur=1024M:\
        :maxproc-max=1024:\
        :maxproc-cur=512:\
        :openfiles-cur=1024:\
        :stacksize-cur=8M:

run cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf

relogin
check with ulimit -a
no changes applied.
>Fix:
rm /etc/login.conf.db ; cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf
