 Do you maybe have a user account whose home directory is /dev/null ? It
 looks like program (su, maybe?) is looking for ~/.login_conf using the
 _secure_path() function.  Try changing that home directroy to
 /var/empty , which is an empty directory with no write permission
 provided for cases when you need one.
