My temporary solution is to add this file: > # cat /usr/local/etc/man.d/expletive.conf > MANPATH /usr/local/share/man You could also add an OPTIONAL_MANPATH entry to /etc/manpath.config, assuming you are using the manpath command to set your MANPATH. Just make sure you unset the MANPATH environment variable before running the manpath command. > > Can't remember this happening in FreeBSD 8. > > Doug Gilbert > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-scsi > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-scsi-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- Paul Keusemann pkeusem@visi.com 4266 Joppa Court (952) 894-7805 Savage, MN 55378
