https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=287573 Bug ID: 287573 Summary: pw.conf(5) never decribes nispasswd properly Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: michaelo@FreeBSD.org CC: doc@FreeBSD.org pw.conf(5) says: > nispasswd path to the NIS passwd database but the keyword 'nispasswd' never appears in the rest of the manpage. More confusing is this paragraph: > On NIS servers which maintain a separate passwd database to > /etc/master.passwd, this option allows the additional file to be > concurrently updated as user records are added, modified or removed. If > blank or set to 'no', no additional database is updated. An absolute > pathname must be used. Question: What option? It obviously refers to 'nispasswd', but never explicitly mentions it. grepping through the manpage makes this paragraph invisible. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.home | help
