1 I had the same issue, although I did run etc-update. Unfortunately I cannot
2 recall if I deleted the old file or the update. Regardless of that, you will
3 find that the lines causing the output are in /etc/login.defs. Against my
4 better judgment I just commented them out and figure that I will deal with
5 the issue later.
