"You know, I think I can hear the machine screaming from here... \
'help me! hellpp meeee!'" - Heather Flanagan, 14:52:23 Wed Jun 10 1998
>Environment:
System: NetBSD tome.neutralgood.org 1.6 NetBSD 1.6 (TOME-$Revision: 1.2 $) #53: Tue Oct 22 19:39:35 EDT 2002 kpn@neutralgood.org:/local/kernel/compile/TOME alpha
Architecture: alpha
Machine: alpha
>Description:
From the newbtconf man page:

expected to be "NO". In general, the only settings which should be "YES"

>How-To-Repeat:
Read netbsd lists. See someone say "man newbtconf". Think "Huh, I haven't
heard of that before I don't think." Then read the man page. Do something
else, make a phone call, write an email, get distracted. Then look over
and read the relevant part of the man page again because it happens to
be on screen. Note the out of date part.
>Fix:
Remove "and update" from the man page. Change "settings which" to
"setting that" and "are" to "is" while you are at it.
