The '-l' option is buried in the list items (8.). The '-n' option is also inconsistent with standard documentation. In addition, the source shows other options not documented; namely, 'k','x' and 'v'. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: I offer the following text fixes. -a DEPRICATED. This flag is ignored. It is offerd only for compatability reasons. -l Do not validate user with ~/.rhosts unless it is the superuser. -n Turns off transport-level keepalive messages. Such messages are used to detect client crashes or unreachable clients. -k Use kerberos(8) Authentication (if compiled into client and server). -v UNIMPLEMENTED. Vacuous authentication. Apparently this was intended for encryption of data stream without the need for kerberos(8). -x Encrypt the data stream. Requires kerberos(8). -D Sets TCP_NODELAY socket option with improves performance of small back-to-back writes at the expense of additional network traffic. -L Cause all successful accesses to be logged to syslogd(8) as auth.info messages. -? Ignores all other options and immediately quits with usage message. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
