In some cases, having more or more complex examples than a manual can usefully contain seems helpful. The notable example of an example file that needs improvement is pf.conf - though putting the right things there isn't exactly trivial, so sending patches for that one requires *lots* of experience and knowledge. I think *some* example files can be removed, and maybe i might do that, if i come round to make specific suggestions and get OKs for them. > and put some examples in man pages, for the apps that have > no such thing yet? That may be useful in some cases, though i cannot say in which ones without looking at the details. If you think that a particular page can be improved by sparingly adding examples, feel free to send patches, that might speed up the process. Yours, Ingo
