Re: Some minor error fixes - Mailing list pgsql-docs

Hello Peter,

Thank you!
I see that M is just an alias for MUMPS. I stumbled upon the inconsistency between B015, B115, B125, M022 on the one side and M015 on the other. Anyway, it's definitely not a bug in our docs.

Please look at the following errors/fixes.

Patch #2 is for consistency on [1].
Bug #6 is the most interesting. Table "Table F-17. Hash Algorithm Speeds" on [2] contains following row:
Algorithm | Hashes/sec
crypt-bf/5 | 13504
And there is a following note below the table:
For reference: john -test shows 213 loops/sec for crypt-bf/5. (The very small difference in results is in accordance with the fact that the crypt-bf implementation in pgcrypto is the same one used in John the Ripper.)
It seems that the number 213 is out of sync with the table contents. ("Very small difference" was indeed present before [3]. See [4].)
As I can't reproduce exact numbers on my machine, I suggest to slightly increase the number that was specified in the table (+2 as before).
