Description Giorgos Keramidas 2001-09-09 01:50:00 UTC

	The manpage of rc.conf(5) contains broken references to two
	other manpages that dont exist on my -CURRENT box:

	    gated(8), and
	    pcnfsd(8)

How-To-Repeat: 
	Grep for gated and pcnfsd the output of 'man 5 rc.conf'.
	Then try to read those manpages.

Actually it depends on ports installed on your system. Both these manual
pages are describing utilities available as FreeBSD ports, not base system
tools. IMHO, they're should not be removed, but marked as externally
maintained software references.

Ruslan ? Will we have .Pr or something like that ? Or maybe it's better
to remove all ports .Xr's from base system manual pages ?

FYI, gated seems to be closed source now. The port doesn't build anymore
for a long time already (so I've heard). See docs/38244 for more info.
