 I think it would be a really god idea to add this information
 to the man page. I have a slightly different patch :
 
 Changes to last patch in this PR:
 
 Use "The pw utility logs" instead of "Pw logs". Looks better IMO and is
 the way it is done the other places in this man page.
 
 Change "...in the pw.conf(5) file." to "...in pw.conf(5).". Thats
 the way I have seen references to files which have a man page
 in other man pages.
 
 Both nitpicking of course but...
