           Summary: ipfilter variable substitution in rules & nat file not
                    documented
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People

"man ipf.conf" manual section "variables" says it supports the use of variable
substitution throughout the text of the file. Then it says "See ipf(8) for
instructions on how to define variables to be used from a shell environment.

But man 8 ipf  contains NO such instructions.

Instructions need to be added to "man 8 ipf"

"man ipnat.conf" says it supports the use of variable substitution throughout
the text of the file. Then it says "See ipnat(8) for instructions on how to
define variables to be used from a shell environment.

But man 8 ipnat  contains NO such instructions.

Instructions need to be added to "man 8 ipnat"
