Hi, The attached patch adds documentation of the .netrc file support to the manpage. This patch will already be included in the 0.22.4 Debian package to close bug #397735 (http://bugs.debian.org/397735).
Is this fine for inclusion in the official release? Cheers, Sebastian -- Sebastian "tokkee" Harl GnuPG-ID: 0x8501C7FC http://tokkee.org/
