    I've got a whole bunch of patch submissions building up for this. 
    I've already incorporated this correction in but thanks!

    Two people asked me why a man page verses a doc.  The answer is simply
    that an order of magnitude more people will read and use it as a manual
    page verses as a doc.  In fact, now that I think about it, something
    we really ought to do is incorporate document access into the
    'man' system.

:Because it is talking about sysadmin things.  I'd guess that firewall
:belongs there as well as tuning.  But since it doesn't describe an
:actual command, one could argue it belongs in section 7.  Gotta love
