You are forgetting that someone who has just logged in may not know how to reach the support(7) manpage. The current motd can *POINT* him there: | Welcome to FreeBSD! | [...] | manual page. If you are not familiar with manual pages, type `man man'. How will the user know what to do if you go ahead and hide all the information currently visible by just logging in? _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
