Quite right. I've committed a fix in revision 1.79 of file http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-servers/chapter.sgml The change will appear online after the next scheduled rebuild of the web site and the documentation; usually in just a few hours. Thanks for taking the time to report this. If it's not too much to ask, please send any future comments to the freebsd-doc mailing list, which is more appropriate for discussing documentation issues, or file a bug report under the doc/ category :) Regards, Giorgos --a8Wt8u1KmwUX3Y2C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEHod11g+UGjGGA7YRAkauAJ9XD+pZcVjrI7+rlJCiHZxFF8e12QCgj3rS XxLhvAtJ8qVvhcB5ToCjigk= =Umb2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --a8Wt8u1KmwUX3Y2C--
