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
