Assuming the server itself is free, then it can go in contrib.
Actually, SYS:LOGIN is not necessary. It is only necessary if the server
is going to be the main server on a network segment: if a client machine
has already got the login files from another server it can then mount
files and printers from a server without SYS:LOGIN.
However, there is a problem here, which is that there doesn't seem to be a
way to control what server a client machine will attempt to log into
first (as I understand it, they do a broadcast, and log into the first to
respond)
