   Where do other operating systems put these manual pages?  The
 Solaris equivalent of our yp/nis(4) seems to be nis(1).  Section 4 is
 definitely the wrong place.  What section do NetBSD and OpenBSD use?

Responsible-Changed-Why:  
Ruslan is our man page guru.  Bill Paul agrees that 7 would be better than the current section.  Solaris puts this man page in section 1 and I believe Net/OpenBSD put it in section 8.  I think any of these three would be better than the current section.
