--- Comment #2 from ghislain <ghislain@smartix.llc> ---
Stumbled on few more typos in the same section (Ch 30.4) so additional
corrections were made. 

Few suggestions that may need review are located in:

1- Section 30.4.7 "NIS Security" where `#` was replaced with the suggested
`+"#"+`. The double quotes were added to stay consistent with how the manual
page documents it and also to make it clearer.

This small bug also affected how the subsequent phrase "A sample
[.filename]#securenets#" rendered. The suggested `+"#"+` fixes both issues.

2- Section 30.4.8. "Using Netgroups" where this sentence 'Each set of brackets
represents either a group of one or more users or the name of another
netgroup.' is replaced with 'Each set of parenthesis represents either a group
of one or more users or the name of another netgroup.'

The difference lies in how the second column in a netgroup specification is
being described; using "parenthesis" instead of "brackets" removes nuances and
makes it clear as to what symbols to use.

A second diff file (the most relevant diff) named "diff2" was attached.

IMPORTANT NOTE/IMPLICATIONS:
The word "parenthesis" may have to be replaced/translated in other languages to
stay consistent.
