Description Evgeny Roubinchtein 2014-05-30 19:00:00 UTC 
	In section 12.7.2(Log Management and Rotation) of the English Handbook,
	"While syslodg is normally run from cron(8)..."
	should be
	"While newsyslog is normally run from cron(8)..."

How-To-Repeat: 	Read the first paragraph of section 12.7.2(Log Management and Rotation).
	Currently, it includes a rather puzzling sentence that reads, 
	"While syslogd is normally run from cron(8), it is not a system daemon."
	That statement is puzzling on two counts: one, syslogd clearly _is_
	"a system daemon" by any reasonable definition: two syslogd is _not_
	"run from cron(8)" in the configurations I am aware of.
	The fix is to substitute "newsyslog" for "syslogd" in that sentence.

	I am attaching a patch against a "fairly recent" checkout of
	docs HEAD from SVN.
