Well, you certainly won't hear anyone say 'no' to you writing it ;) Go for it, send it in to this list when you're done and we can probably either offer suggestions or say 'Great, we'll get it committed'. Some suggestions: Try to be as thorough as possible, while still keeping it easily readable for less experienced users. BUT, while doing this, keep it short and sweet; one, maybe 2 paragraphs. Make sure you mention that you CAN disable that in /etc/ttys, why you would and why you might not want to do so, etc. I'll help you write review it if you'd like. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
