Anway, the below is the listing of manual pages I have made changes to, and can be viewed at: http://www.pittgoth.com/~hiten/diffs/paths-20020329.diff You can review the patches found from the above URL. I have personally taken time to review each and every patch I have made, but in any case it doesn't hurt to check again. :) I am submitting a bug-followup to the pending/36406, which should be helpful. It would also be better if robert (rwatson@) has a look at the changes, because I have made some changes to the TrustedBSD manual pages, especially getextattr.8 and setextattr.8, so I have CC'ed him a copy too. Also, I think the PR should remain open because there are changes which need to be made to manual pages which refer to /modules which is replaced by /boot/kernel/kernel in -CURRENT. Let me know your suggestions, comments, etc. --- ChangeList --- diffs diffs/ps.1.diff diffs/getbootfile.3.diff diffs/nextboot.8.diff diffs/boot_i386.8.diff diffs/vinum.4.diff diffs/loader.conf.5.diff diffs/loader.4th.8.diff diffs/fstat.1.diff diffs/ipcs.1.diff diffs/nfsstat.1.diff diffs/symorder.1.diff diffs/systat.1.diff diffs/vmstat.8.diff diffs/uptime.1.diff diffs/w.1.diff diffs/getextattr.8.diff diffs/iostat.8.diff diffs/kernbb.8.diff diffs/pstat.8.diff diffs/rwhod.8.diff diffs/setextattr.8.diff diffs/trpt.8.diff --- ChangeList --- Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further info.
