Got another couple of problems. First, man is not placing formated man pages into .../man/cat[1-8]. I created these directories, checked their permissions, and I checked the source for man, but I don't know what is going wrong. What I expect is that when I type 'man ls', the man prog will uncompress and then nroff the file /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz, place the formatted copy in /usr/share/man/cat1/ls.1, and display the page. The next time I type 'man ls' it should display the file /usr/share/man/cat1/ls.1. However, nothing gets placed into cat1 and I have to reformat next time I want to see the man page. I don't want to format ALL of my man pages, just the ones I use. Second problem: Is .rhosts supposed to work? I tried a number of formats with both rsh and rlogin, none of them work. What am I doing wrong? Ownership was user,group, permissions were 600.
