>Description:

The manual page ethers(5) refers to a non existing file /etc/ethers. Please

1) provide a template /etc/ethers file, which gives a small description
   and maybe some examples (commented out of course).

or if this file is obsolete,

2) fix the manual page.

Thankx,

               Frank
