* Various pages that formerly lacked the information now have
a note under RETURN VALUE that errno is set on error.
* Peng Haitao has submitted patches to around 50 pages that note
functions that are thread-safe or thread-unsafe. For this
purpose, the man-pages add a new section, ATTRIBUTES, as
described in the man-pages(7) manual page. Peng Haitao's
substantial work is ongoing, and more pages will add this
information in the future.

netgroup description incorrectly refers to initgroups

Update URL for libcap
fork.2
Port access permission bits (ioperm()) are turned off in the child

Note that iopl() level of 3 is needed to access ports
'num' is *bits* not bytes!
Linux 2.6.8 lifted the port limit to 65,536
See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/202624/
From: Stas Sergeev <stsp <at> aknet.ru>
Subject: [patch][rfc] Larger IO bitmap

Plus form formatting fixes.
