            Bug ID: 234249
           Summary: rc.conf(5): incorrect sentence parallelism in
                    description of ip6addrctl_policy
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: david@fiander.info
                CC: doc@FreeBSD.org

The description of the rc.conf variable ip6addrctl_enable contains the only
documentation for the variable ip6addrctl_policy (which is another problem,=
 but
I'm not going to open a but report for that).

The description of the ip6addrctl_policy says:

If ``ipv4_prefer'' or ``ipv6_prefer'' is specified, ip6addrctl(8) installs a
pre-defined policy table described in Section 2.1 (IPv6-preferred) or 10.3
(IPv4-preferred) of RFC 3484.

A strict reading of this suggests that setting ip6addrctl_policy to
"ipv4_prefer" will install a "pre-defined policy table described in Section=
 2.1
(IPv6-preferred)". The second part of this sentence needs to be reversed so
that the correct tables correspond to the correct policy values.
