It looks like it is allowing 1 through to 2 adjacent characters allowed, am trying to learn
this sed, however it is proving a challenge !
\1\{2,\} is that matchs string for pattern is repetitions 2 or more than its in defined `\(....\) `

DACSINIT(1)						       DACS Commands Manual						       DACSINIT(1)

NAME
dacsinit - Configure a minimal DACS federation interactively SYNOPSIS
dacsinit [-d] [-n] DESCRIPTION
This program is part of the DACS suite. The dacsinit command interactively creates a minimal DACS federation and jurisdiction. By default, the program uses the default paths that were established when DACS was built and the example paths used by dacs.quick(7)[1]. When prompted, typing Return/Enter selects the default value. It can also be used to create a configuration for a federation with one very basic jurisdiction based on names input to dacsinit. The resulting configuration can then be extended or customized manually. Note This program can be found in the distribution's src directory. It is not copied elsewhere during installation. OPTIONS
The following options are accepted: -d Avoid overwriting "real" files by appending a a suffix ("-xxx") to all files installed by this program. This is useful for debugging, but you must clean up these bogus files manually. -n Do not actually do anything, but print the actions that would be done. Can be used with -d. DIAGNOSTICS
The program exits 0 if everything was fine, 1 if an error occurred. SEE ALSO
