Re: Problems with the man

In my slink box there are some packages (for example a2ps) whose man

What is the problem? Should these man pages be available as their are
related to packages that where installed in the system during the
default installation?

sounds like the a2ps man page file permissions are wrong, they should be world readable, if not chmod 444 should do the trick.

/usr/share/man/man?
