Hi,

The attached patch fixes the misspelling of the word "precede" in CVS
HEAD in a number of source files and man pages. It needs to be
applied in src/. Could someone commit it?

It can also be found online at: https://bling.properkernel.com/
freebsd/20061227-fix-preceed.patch

PS: This patch does not fix the instances in src/contrib/ as it is my
understanding that these are vendor imported sources. I will take
these up with the appropriate people.

Thank you for spotting those typos! Personally, I hate typos in
comments and docs as they make me suspect that the author didn't
have enough concentration to write good code either. :-)

I feel the same way.

My only remark is that we should't touch the files in src/crypto/
or the manpages in src/secure/. The former are much like those
in src/contrib/, while the latter are auto-generated from the POD
files in src/crypto/.

I have the POD files fixed in my local repo. Would you like the patches?

Having said that, I'll happily correct the rest of slips you've
found. Thanks, and Happy New Year!

I'm happy to oblige. Happy New Year to you too! :)

Andy
