you're right... my applogies... I shoudl have checked the option instead
of doing it from memmory...  the correct option is --with-login ... 

from ./configure --help ...

  --with-login[=PATH]     Use login -f to finish login connections.

it should be academic now we've got the genuine option... but it's in
config.h ...

/* Define if you want the login patches. */
#define USELOGIN 1
#define PATH_LOGIN "/bin/login-"
