Purpose of commit: bugfix and document Commit summary: --------------- The login limit counting seemed to have its math incorrect. The default has been changed to the sane one, and a new module argument has been added "utmp_early" that returns the module to its old behavior. Thanks to Berend De Schouwe for getting to the bottom of this issue.
