Description Jay Sekora 1999-11-20 04:51:04 UTC
(Most of these are not in the man-pages RPM, but I didn't want to submit
lots of separate bug reports.)

* The man page for statd(8) is slightly wrong (it refers to
  /usr/sbin/rpc.lockd and /usr/sbin/rpc.statd, but those binaries are in
  /sbin), and there's no man page for lockd(8).

* The EXMH documentation is divided into multiple man pages, including
  exmh(1), exmh-use(1), exmh-ref(1), and exmh-custom(1). Only the man
  page for exmh(1) is included in the RedHat 6.1 EXMH rpm (exmh-2.0.3-2);
  the others are missing. (That was the case under RedHat 5.2 also.)

* The command `man -k clock' includes in its output
    clock (8)            - query and set the hardware clock (RTC)
  and setclock(8) also refers to clock(8), but `man 8 clock' says `No
  entry for clock in section 8 of the manual', and sure enough, there's
  no clock.8 under /usr/man.

* There are no man pages for rhosts(5) or hosts.equiv(5).

I've fixed timeconfig (bad clock(8) references)

Exmh doesn't include those files

I'm binding it to a different component, as stad is part of nfs-utils

PS: Please submit multiple bugs instead of one big report. TIA.

rhosts and rhosts.equiv man pages don't exist in Linux distribution of those tools.

rexec(1) man page is missing from the RPM though.  There are two reasons; rexec
patch for 0.10 uses $MANDIR in a different sense than expected, and SPEC file
has a missing entry.  Patched attached.

lockd man page is there in nfs-utils-0.1.8-2.  statd and lockd point to wrong
places.  Patch attached.

Comment 8 Alan Cox 2002-12-14 01:35:32 UTC
rexec man page still missing as is man 5 rhosts

Others seem ok


Comment 9 Phil Knirsch 2003-05-06 10:14:02 UTC
Erh, can't find the rhosts(5) manpage anywhere at all... Rest of the manpages
are there though, so closing the bug.

Read ya, Phil
