Clark >Release: FreeBSD 2.2.8-STABLE i386 >Organization: >Environment: >Description: The manpage for timed(8) never actually specifies what the '-F' switch does. There are mentions that, "A timed running without the -M or -F flags will remain a slave," and "...use... -F hostname to tell its timed daemon to trust only itself." From this, one might be able to insinuate that the '-F' switch tells the timed process which hosts to trust as masters. However, it never actually says that, and I am not even sure if that is the case. >How-To-Repeat: man timed >Fix: One paragraph inserted into the manpage near the top defining the '-F' switch would be a quick-fix. However, the entire manpage is somewhat poorly organized. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
