I think we should just submit the patch as is rather than fixing
makewhatis(1). tuning(7) written by the same author just uses
'FreeBSD' instead of .Fx and therefore shows up properly.
I could not find any other examples of man pages that have this
problem, leading me to conclude that hacking up makewhatis would be
overengineering the solution.

Yes, please. I'd prefer just submitting the patch too. If there's no objection to committing it and nobody else beats me to it, I'd like to commit it in a couple of days... State Changed From-To: open->patched Fixed in HEAD. Thanks :-) Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->keramida I'll handle the MFC for this. State Changed From-To: patched->closed No MFC needed.

If you type apropos security to get the security(7) man page the word "FreeBSD" is missing, matthias@c0re:/ % apropos security security(7) - introduction to security under ^^^^ How-To-Repeat: Type apropos security
