Synopsis: Reference in a non existent man page. State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: tom State-Changed-When: Tue Aug 27 06:45:50 PDT 2002 State-Changed-Why: The only references to lkm(4) from these manual pages state that they replace the old functionality of lkm(4). They do not suggest that lkm(4) is still part of FreeBSD. I see little value in removing the (4) from references to the old lkm(4) - there is no suggestion that this manual page still exists. On the other hand, if we keep the (4), it allows provides a reference to the old functionality for people with old systems, a CVS repository, etc. Please let me know what you think of these suggestions and how you think we would gain from removing the (4).
