Ruslan has done the same amount of good/evil to that (ppp's man page is now different in OpenBSD - and NetBSD if they ever chose to import it).... I looked at the patches and decided that what Ruslan did was a benefit and therefore didn't say anything - I'm pretty sure Ruslan did the same (we're now in a position where we can argue that FreeBSD is right and {Net,Open}BSD is wrong). IMHO being able to say ``.Nm .'' is a good thing. I don't think anyone should chastise Ruslan for progression ! > Greg > -- > Finger grog@lemis.com for PGP public key > See complete headers for address and phone numbers -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
