>Description:

	ppp.8 contains following typos.

	(1) ".nm" should be ".Nm".


	(2) "uses" should be "users"


     o   Make sure that your system has a group named ``network'' in the
         /etc/group file and that that group contains the names of all users
         expected to use ppp. Refer to the group(5) manual page for details.
         Each of these uses must also be given access using the ``allow
                       ^^^^
         users'' command in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.


	(3) "his" should be "this".

          Previous versions of ppp required a similar entry in the
          /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup file.  Since the advent of `sticky routes', his
                                                                          ^^^
          is no longer required.


	(4) ".Li" macro cannot handle too much arguments.

           ID0        Log all function calls specifically made as user Li00Li1
                                                                       ^^^^^^^
           Warning    Output to the terminal device. If there is Li00Li1 ter-
                                                                 ^^^^^^^
                      minal, output is sent to the log file using LOG_WARNING.
           Error      Output to both the terminal device and the Li00Li11Li2
                                                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^

	(5) ".Ar" should be ".Ar all"

     quit|bye [all]
[snip]
       If the file ...  all argument is given, ppp will exit despite the
              ^^^^^^^^
       source of the command after closing all existing connections.
