[CentOS] Error on man page

[Gerhardus.Geldenhuis]

Hi
I discovered a similar problem early this week and a colleage on irc was
told it was a copy and paste error.

in man syslogd, the following can be found:

  Sucker rod def. -- 3/4, 7/8 or 1in. hardened steel rod,
male threaded on each end.  Primary use in the oil industry in Western
North Dakota and other locations to pump 'suck' oil from oil wells.
Sec-
  ondary uses are for the construction of cattle feed lots
and for dealing with the occasional recalcitrant or belligerent
individual.


Regards

Its not an error, read the previous lines:
5. Use step 4 and if the problem persists and is not secondary to a 
rogue program/daemon get a 3.5 ft (approx. 1 meter) length of sucker 
rod* and  have a chat with the user in question.


Its an attempt at a joke by the author of the man page.
