Is there some obscure denial of service attack related to the size of the man pages?!? And as for the links for securelevel and similar things, what the hell does this man page problem have to do with that? freebsd-security is hardly the place for these things. Your justfication for this post is completely unrelated and irrelevant to the post itself.
