Normal users, however, can use man pages just fine. Whenever any man command is given in root, root gets the message "No manual entry for foo." The last thing that I did was modify some of the files in /usr/share/skel, but I fail to see what that has to do with anything. I may have unwittingly done something else that I cannot remember, though. Note that "manpath" returns the exact same value for both root and normal users, which is the default manpath. Does anybody have any ideas as to how this might be remedied? Many thanks, Charles Burns _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
