Bug ID: 287573
Summary: pw.conf(5) never decribes nispasswd properly
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Manual Pages
Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: michaelo@FreeBSD.org
CC: doc@FreeBSD.org
pw.conf(5) says:
> nispasswd path to the NIS passwd database
but the keyword 'nispasswd' never appears in the rest of the manpage. More
confusing is this paragraph:
> On NIS servers which maintain a separate passwd database to
> /etc/master.passwd, this option allows the additional file to be
> concurrently updated as user records are added, modified or removed. If
> blank or set to 'no', no additional database is updated. An absolute
> pathname must be used.
Question: What option? It obviously refers to 'nispasswd', but never explicitly
mentions it. grepping through the manpage makes this paragraph invisible.
