Description Rebecca Cran freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2003-04-25 10:40:02 UTC 
	gated is now commercial software and is no longer available from the ports system.  However, the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/docs/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/routing.html) and the rtquery man page both make references to it, saying that gated would be more suitable in more complex environments. These should probably be either removed or changed to suggest a routing package such as zebra which is in the ports system

Fix: 

change or remove references to gated in the documentation
How-To-Repeat: 	read the FreeBSD handbook or 'man rtquery'

I'm not really a documentation expert, but wouldn't it probably be best
to make note of the obsolescence of gated's freeness in the
documentation, as well as pointing readers to zebra (and also make
reference to the fact that it's in ports, and not imply that it's in the
base system, as was suggested by Simon Nielsen)?

I've corrected the rtquery man page on -STABLE and -CURRENT and fixed 
the advanced networking chapter of the Handbook.  Please let me know 
if you see any other references to this.  Thanks for the submission!
