Description of problem: type "man telnet" and get bad output Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. type "man telnet" 2. look at screen 3. sigh. Actual results: Text is there, but messed up. Expected results: Nice output. Additional info: According to Michal Actually /usr/share/man/man1/telnet.1.gz is fine. The problem seems to be that 'man telnet' is picking up /usr/kerberos/man/man1/telnet.1.gz and this file is not using 'mandoc' macros. I did not try to check what else in /usr/kerberos/man/man1/ will have similar issues. You can workaround for the time beeing by setting an explicit MANPATH in /etc/man.config with /usr/kerberos/man further down the pike. Currently 'man -w' shows /usr/kerberos/man on the leading position.
As the default path setup goes to the kerberos-ized version of telnet rather than the plain one, man's behavior of prefering the kerberos version is correct. changing to the responsible component.-
$ man /usr/kerberos/man/man1/tmac.doc.gz shows nothing $ man /usr/kerberos/man/man5/.k5login.5.gz is ok, but this manpage is hard to find $ man -k k5login k5login: nothing appropriate
