>Description:
Here's output from weekly run report:
Rebuilding whatis database:
/usr/share/man/whatis.tmp: Read-only file system
/usr/share/perl/man/whatis.tmp: Read-only file system
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/man/whatis.tmp: Read-only file system
THis goes against BSD design.
>How-To-Repeat:
Mount /usr readonly and run weekly report & watch errors.
>Fix:
FIx related applications (makewhatis, locate, whatis apropos) to use correct path for tmp files, /var for data.
