I'd rather not do it for every single user's .login file, because that would be annoying, and ldconfig can't be run except as su. However, in /etc, it's not obvious where this stuff goes. I see some path stuff being set up in /etc/rc, but there appears to be a manpath.config file, although no documentation on it. I see no place where I'd run ldconfig. Any suggestions as to what would work out best for me? Thanks! marc. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
