Package: approx
Version: newly released to wheezy in the past few days
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

There was, long ago, a great long list of default values in the approx.conf
that ships in approx.deb. In particular it declared the default port number,
which I could not recall from memory during a new install a few months ago.

Also the example security line in the default approx.conf is wrong and cannot
work.
Yes, there is a correct version in man approx, but in man approx.conf,  the man
page mentioned in approx.conf , the wrong security line is also used.

I see that port number is also not mentioned in approx.conf(5). It may not be
configurable any more, but the numeric value still needs by a user who is
configuring a host to point to approx.  It was once easy to find this critical
fact, but documentation has been edited to be too terse.

I have never used a non-default value of port number, but I have had to check
my memory as to the value of the default on many occasions. Please restore a
useful memory aid. I also don't remember
