Hi, I have recently switched to FreeBSD. Although IMHO FreeBSD is very well documented, with lots of excellent manual pages, I really missed manual pages for devfs.conf and devfs.rules. So I created them, based on my reading of other manual pages and the startup scripts. You can find them at the following URI: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/ I would like to ask for feedback on these manual pages. In particular I would like to know what needs to be done to make them suitable for submission, and whom I should submit them to when finished, since manual pages are not deemed to be part of the documentation set. Although I've tried to adhere to groff_mdoc(7) and have used other manual pages as examples, the lists in the examples in devfs.conf.5 and devfs.rules.5 come out mangled when rendering in HTML. Text and PostScript look fine. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? Roland -- R.F.

No manpage exists for /etc/devfs.conf Fix: If this were the future, I might say: "Here's one I prepared earlier." Alas, no. Hopefully if one is created, suitable references will be added to eg. man devfs(8) How-To-Repeat: $ man devfs.conf No manual entry for devfs.conf
