Michael Kerrisk (man-pages) f053ff1e3a Place SEE ALSO entries in order
This patch does only the following:

* Order SEE ALSO entries first by section name, then alphabetically
  within section
* Adds one or two missing commas in SEE ALSO lists
* Removes one or two periods that were (inconsistently) used
  at the end of SEE ALSO lists.

Sami Kerola 0720d60cc1 mcookie: use lib/randutils
The mcookie should reuse existing code, and there is definitely no need
to prefer /dev/random for this utility.  See reference for explanation
about later statement.
