A port can add to the login.conf configuration by placing a file in /etc/login.d. > Seems like the best practice may be to add a pkg README recommending the > user editing /etc/login.conf themselves. Is that correct? That's basically how it was done before OpenBSD parsed the /etc/login.d directory. But if program is constantly dumping core, then it needs to be fixed. Modifying the login.conf configuration to increase the maximum number of open files permitted, for example, might be a valid use. Preventing core dumps much less so.
