>Description:
the ipf(8) manual page says:
BUGS
If you find any, please send email to me at dar-
renr@cyber.com.au
As far as I can tell (after months of waiting and a resend or
two 8-) he just doesn't respond to ipfilter bug-related e-mail.
I'm not the only person who has had this no-response problem.
(The same problem was described by another person in a followup
to my mail to the ipfilter mailing list, which i resorted to
after getting no response from Darren.)
It's not clear that NetBSD should be referring (potential) bug
reports to third parties in any case.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read the bottom of ipf(8). (This may appear in other ipfilter
manual pages, as well.)
>Fix:
Delete the BUGS section if ipf(8) (and other pages where a similar
section appears).
