webaccess.hconf:
> # The url to the login page. 
> # Example: https://thinlinc.example.com:300/
> login_page=/

adminguide:
> /webaccess/login_page
>
> The redirection URL to the login page on the master machine. The default value, which is empty,
> will not redirect to another server and is only usable if you are running a stand alone ThinLinc
> server. If you have more than one server or is using Network Address Translation (NAT), you must
> set this parameter to an address that all clients can connect to.

> Example:
> login_page = https://thinlinc.example.com:300/

 - What's a redirection URL?
 - What login page are we talking about?
  - Should I provide my own login page for webaccess?
  - If not, why do I have to tell webaccess where it can find it's own login page?
 - Why does it say that the default value is empty but the actual default is "/"?
 - _When_ is this parameter used?
 - _Why_ is this parameter useful?

Fixed in revision 31127.

Minor things:

"The agents doesn't know ". I believe this should be either "The agent doesn't know" or the "The agents don't know"? 

Also, the sentence "So this parameter should be..." does not feel right; perhaps begin with something else than "So this".

Good point, fixed now.
