BTW, the link at bottom of aio.7 is 403: http://www.squid-cache.org/~adrian/Reprint-Pulavarty-OLS2003.pdf My own opinion is that links change regularly.. so often simpler to avoid them. I used this online tool to check the page, that was the only error http://validator.w3.org/checklink I used Chrome, it has an insecure yellow triangle for the site https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/ Seems to be because the site is using StartCom Class 2 Primary which cannot be completely verified as no public audit records. Also content is loaded from non https connection on the page on https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/ -- Jonny jg@xxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
