IMO, it's just another example of OBSD's great documentation. The second quote is almost exactly like in the OBSD manpage, except the OBSD manpage is a bit clearer: 'Diagnostic' -> 'Standard error'.

Standard error is well defined. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
