According to its documentation BSD/OS (BSDi) only supports the primary
/etc/login.conf, and does not support the user-level ~/login.conf
construct, as of BSD/OS 4.1 (haven't checked 4.2 yet).  This seems to
render the whole issue irrelevant for BSD/OS.

I've tested and confirmed this on one BSD/OS 4.1 system.  Unless my
test is incorrect, it doesn't appear I can override or set anything at
all from ~/login.conf.

It doesn't look like ~/login.conf is supported on NetBSD.
