From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Description of problem: The xinetd.log(5) man page shows up in section 8 instead of section 5. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xinetd-2.3.12-2.3E How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.man 5 xinetd.log 2.man 8 xinetd.log 3. Actual Results: The 1st man command does says "No entry for xinetd.log in section 5 of the manual". The 2nd man page prints the xinetd.log(5) man page even though it is a section 5 man page. Expected Results: The "man 5 xinetd.log" command should work. The "man 8 xinetd.log" command should fail. Additional info: The RPM installs the man page in /usr/share/man/man8/xinetd.log.8.gz instead of /usr/share/man/man8/xinetd.log.5.gz.
This is still the case for RHEL 4.2.
This is still the case for RHEL4.3
