From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: After adding a directory containing man pages to /etc/man.config, we still cannot read the man pages in that directory. We added the following directory to man.config: /network/usr/share/man Immediately afterwards we attempt to execute "man Blast" (Blast.man is a man page in /network/usr/share/man/mandiv). It returns the messages "No manual entry for Blast". We have a RedHat 7.2 system with the exact same man.config, and its man (man-1.5i2-6) and has absolutely no problem finding the same man page. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-1.5i2-7.21as.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add new directory to man.config 2. Run "man subject" for a subject.man page in the new directory 3. Actual Results: Returns "No manual entry for (subject)" Expected Results: Should display the man page correctly. Additional info: We did not reboot the system or restart any services after editing man.config. A "man -d man" returns "found man directory /network/usr/share/man", showing that it found our directory. However the results section which says "path directory xxx is in the config file" does not even mention the new directory.
man -d man actually does talk about the added directory "/network/usr/share/man". The output is below: adding /network/usr/share/man to manpath using default preprocessor sequence found tbl(1) directive
Needed to add "div" to the MANSECT in /etc/man.config
