[doc] Expand/cross-ref MD5 commands, tweak anchors to avoid added spacing
2006-07-28 Paul Jakma <paul.jakma@sun.com> * main.texi: link-detect works on Solaris too. * ospfd.texi: Twiddle around with anchors a bit more. Clarify how setting MD5 auth by area and by interface interact, and add cross-references, as well as to the required command for setting key material.
