Package: ser2net Version: 2.5-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hi,
Within /etc/ser2net.conf and /usr/share/doc/ser2net/examples/ser2net.conf, the description of the 'timeout' field is missing. Please find attached a patch to provide this in both files. The field's description was taken from ser2net(8). A couple of spelling errors were also found within ser2net's README, which this patch also corrects.
