I had kept the message in my INBOX, but kept missing the change to actually read the `isc-dhcpd.sh' script from the port files/ subdir and writing the text. I just committed your suggestion as revision 1.81 of the file doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-servers/chapter.sgml,v Your help in improving our Handbook is much appreciated, despite the time it took me to commit this. I hope this delay doesn't stop you from sending us more suggestions, as useful as this one or even more :) Kind regards, Giorgos --+HP7ph2BbKc20aGI Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEY9711g+UGjGGA7YRArTSAJoDuSRp+hSlCaAEVJjRfp91mieJIACgga11 8QDUj8vxDVR4ZjKof5NiJRE= =udAR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --+HP7ph2BbKc20aGI--
