            Bug ID: 252423
           Summary: handbook: login.conf(5) "memoryuse" documented
                    incorrectly.
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: fuz at fuz.su

The handbook says about the memoryuse field in login.conf(5)

> The maximum amount of memory a process may consume at any given time. It 
> includes both core memory and swap usage. This is not a catch-all limit for 
> restricting memory consumption, but is a good start.

This is clearly incorrect.  The memoryuse field accounts for core memory usage
only.  The man page login.conf(5) is correct in this regard.

> Maximum of core memory use size limit.

Please fix the handbook.
