Yep. Manpages that are installed from the base system sources are installed under /usr/share/man not /usr/local/man. The path that man prints here means that your manpage is installed as part of a port. Therefore, the source of the port is not under the control of the FreeBSD developers only, but a "vendor" is involved too. New features, changes to the way the program works, bugfixes and other useful changes should probably go to the original authors first :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
