>Description:

  I noticed a couple of minor problems when looking at the man page for 
  hier (7) today. First, the file /COPYRIGHT does not exist and therefore
  the comments about it on the man page should be removed. Second, a 
  trailing slash should be added to 'sliphome' because it is a directory
  under /etc that contains configuration files used by the sliplogin 
  program. Finally, the purpose of the man page should be made more 
  explicit. By that I mean at the top of the man page it would be nice to
  see a comment like "This man page shows a possible layout of the file
  system hierarchy. Not all directories listed here are created during
  installation." This would a really nice change because when looking at
  the current hier (7) man page I get the impression that all of the 
  directories listed should be there by default, but they are not. The 
  existing sentence, "An outline of the filesystem hierarchy." at the 
  top of the man page could be replaced by my suggested text.

>How-To-Repeat:

  Look at the man page for hier (7):
 
    man 7 hier 

>Fix:

  See comments above.
