even updated files are out of date
Authored by: jbravo on Aug 11, '03 11:04:53AM

These files are kept "current" by the developers of the OpenBSD operating system. Being an open source project I imagine that they're primarily just volunteers who probably spend most of their efforts keeping the operating system in good order. My guess is that updates are made to these reference files only as someone volunteers the effort, and from looking at the version history updates are made to only specific parts of the file. So while the file may have been updated a month ago, it doesn't mean that all of the info is up-to-date as of a month ago.

If you find an error or omission, you can, 1. edit your local file, and/or 2. get involved with OpenBSD and submit your edits via CVS for the community's benefit. Keeping these files accurate is a group effort, the larger the group, the more accurate the files will be.
