>Description:

	man page for ipf should be moved from section 1 to section 8
	for the following reasons:
	1. This is a an "admin" utility
	2. ipfw is a section 8
	3. Most of ipf-like man pages (ipfstat, ipftest, etc) point to ipf(8)

>How-To-Repeat:

	man 8 ipf ; man 1 ipf

>Fix:

	mv /usr/share/man/man1/ipf.1.gz /usr/share/man/man8/ipf.8.gz
	It also seem that /usr/src/contrib/ipfilter/man/man.8 is more
	up-to-date then /usr/src/contrib/ipfilter/man/man.1
	I guess /usr/src/sbin/ipf/Makefile also needs to be changed?
	Or is there a reason for ipf.8 not to be installed?
