On Fri, Nov 02, 2007 at 11:28:43AM +0000 I heard the voice of Alex Zbyslaw, and lo! it spake thus: > > In addition, considering an *option* to simply not have cat-ed > manual pages (for people with machines fast enough to just not care, > or who have machines where you just don't read man pages often > enough to care) does not seem out of order. Actually, that's already happening much of the time. Rev 1.33 of src/gnu/usr.bin/man/man/Makefile (2001/01/15, in RELENG_5 and newer) turned off making man setuid by default, so it'll only make catpages when run as root anyway. Me, I solve it for base system manpages by having /usr mounted read-only. 8-} -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
