>Environment:

	inetd.8 from 3.2-19990708-STABLE SNAPSHOT	
	This is src/usr.sbin/inetd/inetd.8 rev. 1.22.2.2 (RELENG_3)

	(current has same typo.)

>Description:

	man 8 inetd shows:
[snip]
     The user entry should contain the user name of the user as whom the serv-
     er should run.  This allows for servers to be given less permission than
     root.  Optional group part separated by ``'': allows to specify group
     name different than default group for this user.  Optional login-class
     part separated by ``/'' allows to specify login class different than de-
     fault ``daemon'' login class.
[snip]

	``'': should be ``:''.

>How-To-Repeat:

	$ man 8 inetd

>Fix:
	
	This is because ":" is a punctuation character, which is
	treated as special character in nroff.  To treat ":" as a
	normal character, ":" should be escaped with "\&", as
	following:
