Apparant bug in rc.37 and ra man page fix

	It looks like net processing is broken in rc.37 (and perhaps earlier):

vanepp at sniffer1:/spare> ra -r bb_argus -n -- host 142.58.71.254
   19:23:38.120125  v         ospf      142.58.71.254           ->          224.0.0.5               1        0           82            0   INT
   19:23:48.121093  v         ospf      142.58.71.254           ->          224.0.0.5               1        0           82            0   INT
   19:23:50.489799  v          udp      142.58.71.254.67        ->    255.255.255.255.68            1        0          346            0   INT


vanepp at sniffer1:/spare> ra -r bb_argus -n -- net 142.58.71
   19:23:32.888749  v          udp            0.0.0.0.68        ->    255.255.255.255.67            3        0         1256            0   INT
   19:23:40.284113  v          udp            0.0.0.0.68        ->    255.255.255.255.67            1        0          455            0   INT
   19:23:46.767463  v          udp            0.0.0.0.68        ->    255.255.255.255.67            7        0         2662            0   INT

	instead of matching the net it seems to be selecting DHCP broadcasts
which doesn't seem right. As well mask no longer seems to work (although both
may be because of V6 support I suppose)

vanepp at sniffer1:/spare> ra -r bb_argus -n -- net 142.58.71 mask 255.255.255.0
ra[3384]: 19:58:21.274215 net 142.58.71 mask 255.255.255.0 filter syntax error

	As well there is a mislabeling and two typos (date instead of data) in
the ra man page:


*** man/man1/ra.1.orig	2007-01-11 19:43:33.000000000 -0800
