The following reply was made to PR docs/18379; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Ben Smithurst <ben@FreeBSD.org> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, bobj@atlantic.net Cc: Subject: Re: docs/18379: Information on SSH hard to find in Handbook Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 18:10:22 +0100 > Description > > The FreeBSD Handbook (as of 3 May 00) at > http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ does not list SSH in the Table > of Contents, although other security tools such as SSL are in the > TOC.

I think Nik (and maybe other docproj people) are looking at indexing the Handbook so you could just lookup "ssh" there. Adding "SSH" to the title seems like a bit of a special case hack, and it shouldn't be too difficult to find, since people looking for "ssh" will probably be at least vaguely interested in the whole "Security" section anyway. Perhaps someone else has thoughts on this? If you want to break up that section into two parts, one about SSH, and one about the other stuff already covered, that might be better. :-) -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D FreeBSD Documentation Project / To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
