    Hi,

    Just a feature.

    login_cap(3) says as follows,

      DESCRIPTION
         [...]
         ronment before the shell is invoked on login. Note that access to the
         /etc/login.conf and .login_conf files will only be performed subject to
         the security checks documented in _secure_path(3) for the uids 0 and
         pwd->pw_uid respectively.

    and you'll get the answer from _secure_path(3).
