That is appropriate, but to avoid breaking the more common setup with /usr/bin before /usr/local/bin, search_path needs to map the PATH directories /bin and /usr/bin to the man directory /usr/share/man. GNU man does the same, but it is written into /etc/manpath.config. -- Jilles Tjoelker _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
