>Description:

	The man page for rot13(6) is actually a link to caesar(6),
        which only vaguely mentions any relationship to rot13:

          "Rotated postings to USENET and some of the databases used by
          the fortune(6) program are rotated by 13 characters."

>How-To-Repeat:

	man rot13

>Fix:

	Either give rot13 its own man page or add some language to the
        caesar(6) man page that covers the issue.
