Quite right.

I've committed a fix in revision 1.79 of file
http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-servers/chapter.sgml

The change will appear online after the next scheduled rebuild of the
web site and the documentation; usually in just a few hours.

Thanks for taking the time to report this.  If it's not too much to ask,
please send any future comments to the freebsd-doc mailing list, which
is more appropriate for discussing documentation issues, or file a bug
report under the doc/ category :)

Regards,
Giorgos
