Bug Description
Binary package hint: net-tools
The man pages for netstat and ifconfig mention ipchains. This will confuse anyone who doesn't know ipchains is obsolete.
References to ipchains should be changed to iptables.
References to ipfwadm should be removed.

Updating the English manpages is easy. Updating the German, French, and Brazilian Portuguese requires a native speaker of those languages.The non-English pages may be heavily outdated and misleading.
References to ipchains should be changed to iptables. References to ipfwadm should be removed.
