In order to improve usability of packages in Fedora, project Man Page Scan was created and its task is to provide consistency of man pages (and documentation in general). The results are now available for package maintainers to fix documentation issues. If you need to re-run the check yourself, here is the simple process of man page check: 1. Download man-page-day from: https://pagure.io/ManualPageScan/blob/master/f/man-page-day.sh 2. Run the script: $ ./man-page-day.sh sendmail

Only commands requiring admin privileges, or deamons should be in this section, the rest should be in section 1 In fact all commands are intended to be run by admin. The hoststat, purgestat are symlinks to sendmail manual page. We could probably move the commands from bin to sbin, but I think it's done this way for backward compatibility, so I will not change it downstream. > checking whether config files have man pages: > > [ [1m[31mError(B[m ] config file /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10-sendmail has no man page!
