>Description:

man(1) doesn't say what "system name" (in "-m") should be.  All it says
is "Specify an alternate set of man pages to search based on the system
name given."

>Fix:

Beats me.  I'd guess that it wants something like "remotehostname",
but could that be "somehost.somedomain", and will the same man command
options (minus the "-m") be used on the other host?  One shouldn't need
to guess.  If someone clues me in, I'll write a patch; if not I'll later
ask on -questions.
