Hi,

I downloaded the bin, manpages, catpages from the 3.4 Distribution. Things 
worked fine (needed to put out a mail server and did not want to wait for my 
Subscription). At any rate what are the catpages? I did a search on the mail 
archive and got only one hit from 1997 that basically said that cat pages 
were accidentely there (in that case) I am sure this is no longer the case. I 
realize it is documention but what is the relationship to manpages?

Also in the Samba 2.0.6 Release the following is in the WHATSNEW.txt:
20). MSG_WAITALL optimisation removed due to bugs in FreeBSD.
					     ^^^^????
They way this sounds is that FreeBSD is full of bugs (at least in the
TCP/IP section). I would classify FreeBSD as just the opposite. What do
they mean by this? In my mind this would be a "work arround" untill the
bug gets fixed, or it only a bug from a point of view?

Thanks 
John
