Description Allen 2008-02-09 21:10:02 UTC
The pf.conf manpage "PF.CONF(5)" contains an error on line 1609 of the output:

ence to an anchor name containing a solidus ('/') characters will require

The error is that the "/" character is a slash, not a solidus; they are
different things, and standard keyboards all have a slash (ASCII 47) and
not a solidus.  

Somebody thought they were being clever using a big word and got it wrong,
as is usually the case.

Fix: 

Update the man page and call the character what it is; a slash, not a solidus.
How-To-Repeat: man -p cat pf.conf | grep -Hn solidus

Hello Allen,

  you will have to bug OpenBSD people about this, because AFAIK PF is
  a contributed software and it is more feasible to fix this upstream.
