I don't know about the "wish" category, but:
Perhaps, at least as a short term solution, changing the section title
for Section 8.3 ("Securing FreeBSD") to "Securing FreeBSD: SSH and
Other Tools" or something like that would do the trick. That way,
someone looking through the TOC for information on SSH would be
able to find it.
I went ahead and submitted the above suggestion (the title change
for section 8.3) as a PR, although not in the "wish" class. If
you also want me to suggest a re-write to split SSH out into its
own section, I'll be glad to submit that as a sort of beta test
of the "wish" class...
By the way, I'm traveling and don't have the complete text of
my original posting with me. I hope my PR adequately addressed
my original complaint ;)
I didn't know about the "wish" category before, but now that I look
at the PR page (at 900 bps :( ) I see that it is not a "category",
but instead is a "class". I can't report it simultaneously as a
"doc-bug" and a "wish", which how I would categorize it. It seems
to me (after admittedly brief thought) that "wish" ought to be a
category rather than a class.
