libcmd has spread to at least CDE, X, & GNOME - dtlogin uses it, dating back
to the CDE 1.0/Solaris 2.4 days when it used the private PAM interfaces that
required it, according to the Imakefile comments. It still uses defopen()
etal for reading/parsing /etc/default/login. sys-suspend (originally OW,
now in CDE) does the same.
In X, xlock similarly uses def*() for /etc/default/login, though xdm does not.
I see defopen in a nm of /usr/bin/gdm as well, but strangely not in
gnome-sys-suspend, which was just a port of sys-suspend from Motif to GTK.
