Description John Ioannidis 2001-09-24 20:20:01 UTC 
	The YP man page should not be section 4; it's not a device
driver or kernel subsystem; it should either be in section 5 or
section 7.

  Where do other operating systems put these manual pages?  The
Solaris equivalent of our yp/nis(4) seems to be nis(1).  Section 4 is
definitely the wrong place.  What section do NetBSD and OpenBSD use?

Ruslan is our man page guru.  Bill Paul agrees that 7 would be better than the current section.  Solaris puts this man page in section 1 and I believe Net/OpenBSD put it in section 8.  I think any of these three would be better than the current section.
