Hi,
I installed net/openntpd some time ago. I think I read about it's usage
possibly on OpenBSD's site. Installed it & did the necessary in rc.conf
The other day I wanted to have a look at the local docs for it as I felt the
need to twiddle with its start up args. As always, I have a look to see what
docs it comes with:
$ pkg info -l openntpd
openntpd-6.2p3_2,2:
/usr/local/etc/ntpd.conf.sample
/usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/480.status-openntpd
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/openntpd
/usr/local/man/man5/ntpd.conf.5.gz
/usr/local/man/man8/ntpctl.8.gz
/usr/local/man/man8/ntpd.8.gz
/usr/local/sbin/ntpctl
/usr/local/sbin/ntpd
/usr/local/share/licenses/openntpd-6.2p3_2,2/ISCL
/usr/local/share/licenses/openntpd-6.2p3_2,2/LICENSE
/usr/local/share/licenses/openntpd-6.2p3_2,2/catalog.mk
Ok.
$ man ntpd
Problems. As in front of it in $MANPATH is:
/usr/share/man/man8/ntpd.8.gz
and all the other manpages for ntpd from base.
I happened to realise what was happening, so I could have a look at man(1)
and:
$ man -M /usr/local/man: ntpd
so as to display the port manpage rather than the one installed by base.
This seems to be a POLA violation and I was wondering how, if at all, it
should be handled. A pkg message or rename the binaries or something else?
Regards,
