I have a suggestion for the FreeBSD maintainers.

In /bin/login, please don't check for mail when the user is root.  And
in the case that the mail filesystem is mounted via NFS from a
non-responding server, it hangs root logins.

Root logins on machine A should never ever ever require machine B
to be up.

P.S.  Patch on request, but it's too trivial to submit as one.
