Serge Hallyn 1058872a0b Improve TTYGROUP description in login.defs manpage
Closes #457

The existing prose was confusing, or simply wrong.  Make it clear
that only the group ownership of the tty is affected, and how.
Also move the paragraph about defaults after the discussion of
acceptable TTYGROUPs, as this seems more natural.

The official releases ship with pre-built manpages.

The content of the man pages however is dependent on compile flags. So the pre-built ones might not fit your version of shadow. To build them yourself use --enable-man. Furthermore the following build requirements will be needed:

  • xsltproc
  • docbook 4
  • docbook stylesheets
  • itstool
