Having seen thousands of theses, I can indeed confirm that Tina's
version is correct.

Something else you might want to consider in your documentation is
adding information on volume or frequency if applicable.  For example,
the above error message doesn't occur periodically but you'll
typically see it on the order of hundreds of msgs/min (depending on
network traffic, of course).  This events is triggered on every access
attempt where the given source/target doesn't have a NAT, so on very
busy networks you can generate a lot of syslog messages.
