Subject: fd.4, initrd.4, pts.4, tty.4, vcs.4: spfix: Use `user:group' instead of `user.group'
X-Git-Tag: man-pages-5.00~17
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6f5b156bc9d9fe86c042f3489e78a7197150a070;p=thirdparty%2Fman-pages.git

fd.4, initrd.4, pts.4, tty.4, vcs.4: spfix: Use `user:group' instead of `user.group'

The `:' is aligned with the traditional format of the widely used
command-line utility `chown'.
