For folks like me...who came over from the Linux world for server deployment
I appreciate the thorough job done w/ the man pages on FBSD.

It's been a boon for my PPPD/RADIUS, IPFW, DSL/NETGRAPH, etc, etc, etc
roll-outs.

I've often been able to hack together complete config files (I couldn't
believe /usr/share/examples/* when I first found it!) from the info on man
pages.
