UseLogin directive in sshd_config

[Furnish, Trever G]

See man sshd_config:

     UseLogin
             Specifies whether login(1) is used for interactive login ses-
             sions.  The default is ânoâ.  Note that login(1) is never used
             for remote command execution.  Note also, that if this is
             enabled, X11Forwarding will be disabled because login(1) does not
             know how to handle xauth(1) cookies.  If UsePrivilegeSeparation
             is specified, it will be disabled after authentication.

I've been trying to figure out exactly what this means, and have not had much luck; can anyone tell me exactly what UseLogin option does?  Will it essentially tell the sshd daemon to look to /etc/pam.d/login file for pam rules instead of /etc/pam.d/sshd ?  Thanks very much.
