d1368daead - Added a note at the top of the document telling readers that we will
be talking about both protocols and command/applications. One example
  here is when we talk about ssh. In same cases, ssh is referred to as the
  protocol, some cases it's referred to as the actual command. It shows the
  reader that <application>bold</application> will be used for commands/
  applications, and plain text will be used for protocols.
- Added a bit about how to make sshd not permit direct root logins
- Replaced <literal> tags with <groupname> tags when talking about wheel
- "*'ing" out passwords changed to "staring" out passwords, all instances.
- Wrapped any instances of * in <quote> tags, or replaced them with "star"
- Wrapped popper in <application> tags
- When talking about ssh as a protocol, unwrapped the <application> tags
- Changed <literal> to <varname> when talking about variables
- Added commas throughout the chapter
- Changed GRONDAR.ZA to EXAMPLE.COM just because that's what we've been
  using for example domain names.
- Put usernames in <username> tags
