I don't know about the "wish" category, but:

Perhaps, at least as a short term solution, changing the section title 
for Section 8.3 ("Securing FreeBSD") to "Securing FreeBSD: SSH and 
Other Tools" or something like that would do the trick.  That way, 
someone looking through the TOC for information on SSH would be 
able to find it.

I went ahead and submitted the above suggestion (the title change 
for section 8.3) as a PR, although not in the "wish" class.  If 
you also want me to suggest a re-write to split SSH out into its 
own section, I'll be glad to submit that as a sort of beta test 
of the "wish" class...

By the way, I'm traveling and don't have the complete text of 
my original posting with me.  I hope my PR adequately addressed 
my original complaint ;)


I didn't know about the "wish" category before, but now that I look 
at the PR page (at 900 bps :( )  I see that it is not a "category",
but instead is a "class".  I can't report it simultaneously as a 
"doc-bug" and a "wish", which how I would categorize it. It seems 
to me (after admittedly brief thought) that "wish" ought to be a 
category rather than a class.
