Description David Adam 2005-02-11 02:50:04 UTC 
Recent commits (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls/chapter.sgml.diff?r1=1.26&r2=1.27&f=h) to the IPF section of the firewall chapter have introduced several spelling and grammatical errors, as well as (in my opinion) suboptimal SGML use.

Fix: Patch also available at http://zanchey.ucc.asn.au/freebsd/firewalls.chapter.patch
How-To-Repeat: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-doc/2005-February/007082.html discusses the changes.

The included patch fixes several minor grammatical and spelling errors, and also changes several <programlisting> and <command> sections to <screen>, <literal> and <userinput> where required.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Not all (and not even half) fixed errors was introduced in rev. 1.27 
:) 

btw, "can not" form is rare, but still used: 
$ cvs -Rqd /home/ncvs co doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook 
$ grep -ri cannot doc | wc -l 
122 
$ grep -ri "can not" doc | wc -l 
17 

And, this line was removed: 
&prompt.root; <userinput>chown root /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ipf.loadrules.sh</userinput> 

because it not needed in most cases (/etc is root-writeable). 

Thank for submission!
