            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.
