Good afternoon and happy new year to everybody. I'm just curious about auth.conf. According to the detailed release notes (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.1R/relnotes-detailed.html): "auth.conf(5) has been removed because it was deprecated years ago.[r238481]" but according to the man pages online AUTH.CONF(5) of FBSD9.0-RELEASE: "auth.conf contains various attributes important to the authentication code, most notably crypt(3) for the time being. This documentation will be updated as the /etc/auth.conf file, which is very new, evolves.". How can something deprecated years ago being new and evolving quickly enough to require further doc updates? Am I missing something? :)
