while the workaround is fine if you know at compile time, that
/etc/default/login is not existing or not readable, it creates problems, if this
is changed at a later time.

E.g. using the TITAN system hardening scripts sets this to non-user-readable.
login to sshd will silently fail without an explanation.
Had a hard time figuring out the cause of this.

Agreed about the work-around, but attachment id #410 seems to solve it properly
for me (tested Solaris 8, sun4m, unreadable and missing file). If
/etc/default/login is not readable by the user, you won't get the settings in
it, though.
