Re: abuse of .Nm mdoc macro (fast_ipsec and others)

apropos fast or apropos ipsec shows:

Fast IPsec (4) - hardware-accelerated IP Security Protocols

But "Fast IPsec" is not a manual page.

Should I use the following patch or should I make a MLINKS to create "Fast IPsec.4" (filename with a space in it)? I think space is wrong for some systems.

You are correct, the man-page is wrong. To me both the first chunk of
the diff, and all of it seem fine, so commit whatever you choose. :)

I think netbsd-docs@ is too quiet btw. Perhaps you should always mail
just tech-userlevel@?

Thanks,
