Prefix code blocks by two spaces.

Now I wonder why my FreeBSD systems use underscores for some groups, but only a few of them.

  $ grep ^_ /etc/group
  _pflogd:*:64:
  _dhcp:*:65:
  _ypldap:*:160:

All of those are examples of privilege seperated software imported from OpenBSD, pf and thus pflogd(8), dhclient(8) and yplapd(8).

Yeah thanks, I edited that like 10 times dealing with escaping the asterisks with backslash, adding the two spaces, removing the escaping, newlines, etc :)
