Accidentally, while running devd(8) in debug/foreground mode I noticed the following output: Parsing /etc/devd.conf … Parsing files in /etc/devd … Parsing files in /usr/local/etc/devd /etc/devd/ was obvious, although not documented, since there are conf files populated in base. But /usr/local/etc/devd/ was new to me. Both directories are not mentioned in DEVD(8), nor referenced in DEVD.CONF(5). If someone has a reccomendation for a CLI-man-page editor besides vi(1)&co (I'm not familar with formatting tags), I'd do my best preparing a non-native-speaker's diff. Have alwas been curious how people write/edit man pages… I checked against "FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #0: Mon Sep 6 18:31:39 CEST 2010" and "FreeBSD 10.1-STABLE+FP1 #0 r277168M"
Created attachment 228783 [details] devd(8) patch Update devd(8) to note the default locations devd searches for config files. Add a paragraph tag to separate the text from the previous paragraph.
