Description Pierre-Olivier Laprise 2004-04-22 20:20:15 UTC 
The "dhclient" man page accessed through www.freebsd.org (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dhclient&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+5.2-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html),
has a link to "omshell (8)" in the 12th paragraph of the "Command Line
section.  This should instead be a link to "omshell(1)", as is given later
on in the text.

How-To-Repeat: go to "http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi", search for "dhclient", click on
"omshell (8)".  (note the space before the parenthesis)

Thanks for pointing this out.  I have submitted a patch to the ISC so 
that they can update the next version of the DHCP client to include a 
man page with the correct link.  I'm not sure if its worth modifying 
in our local repository, as the local changes can often make it 
difficult to import the next version from the vendor (ISC).

No activly maintained branch uses the ISC dhclient at this point so 
we're unlikely to fix this cosmetic bug.  If we do switch back to the 
ISC dhclient in the future, hopefully they have fixed this.
