When I login I have this strange message displayed, just after the
"Password:" field:

Password:Aug8 16:17:04 zombie login\[4462\]: login\_getclass: unknown
class 'french'
I looked upon /etc/login.conf but didn't find anything relative to
this message.

Any idea where I could fix this ?

A user on your system has the login class `french`, but that login
class is not defined in `login.conf`. Or maybe it's defined but
whoever did so forgot to run `cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf` afterwards;
start by checking if that is the case. If not, and you just want to
silence the message, you can either run `vipw` and remove `french`
from the class field (fifth field, right after the gid), or add
`french:tc=default:` at the bottom of `/etc/login.conf` and run
`cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf`. But you should try to find out how that
user got that login class.

ETA: come to think of it, if you get that message while logging in,
_you_ are the user with the non-existent login class.

I get the same message except mine says 'daemon'.

I'm on 13- p3 if that helps.
