>Description:
In section 12.7.2(Log Management and Rotation) of the English Handbook,
"While syslodg is normally run from cron(8)..."
should be
"While newsyslog is normally run from cron(8)..."
>How-To-Repeat:
Read the first paragraph of section 12.7.2(Log Management and Rotation).
Currently, it includes a rather puzzling sentence that reads,
"While syslogd is normally run from cron(8), it is not a system daemon."
That statement is puzzling on two counts: one, syslogd clearly _is_
"a system daemon" by any reasonable definition: two syslogd is _not_
"run from cron(8)" in the configurations I am aware of.
The fix is to substitute "newsyslog" for "syslogd" in that sentence.
I am attaching a patch against a "fairly recent" checkout of
docs HEAD from SVN.
