What were you trying to do?

        Find out if my Zephyr user location information was made available
        to unauthenticated users, if I set my exposure level to
        net-visible or net-announced.

What's wrong:

        The man page says "User location information is retained by
        Zephyr and made available to any authenticated user who requests
        such." It doesn't explicitly discuss the unauthenticated case,
        which (empirically, at the present time) appears to be no
        different.

What should have happened:

        Perhaps the word "authenticated" should be removed from the
        above sentence quoted from the man page. If necessary, mention
        that authentication may be required, depending on the current
        configuration of the local Zephyr servers.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
