Hi, I found a mistake in the FreeBSD handbook. I intend to send you 
other mistake I might find unless you tell me to stop.

In section 3.3.1 on this page: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/permissions.html
The last paragraph says:
"A comma separated list can be provided when more than one set of 
changes to a file must be made. For example the following command will 
remove the groups and ``world'' write permission on FILE, then it adds 
the execute permissions for everyone:

% chmod go-w,a+x FILE
"

The command does not do what the text says. The text says "world" but the command is for "Other".
I suggest you change either one or the other.


Have fun with the mistake, wrestle it to the ground and make it submit.

Greets,

Louis Tan
