The manpages are in /usr/local/man for historical reasons. We've been shipping an /etc/manpath.config with "/usr/local/man" for ages and it will be too much of a pain to change it now. Also, virtually no third-party software installs man pages in /usr/local/share/man, which means we have to go patch the 400+ ports. * Also, what exactly do you mean by "standalone", in.telnetd could be * classified as standalone, couldn't it? I'm not sure what Paul meant about the standalone part. Our policy is that things that could be started from root's command line goes to sbin and those that are only called from other programs go in libexec. ("sbin" is expected to be in root's PATH, "libexec" is not.) Satoshi
