Description Richard Troxel 2003-05-01 17:57:37 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.7 sun4u)

Description of problem:
This probably applies to other platforms and versions too.

man(1) contains several references to /usr//etc/man.conf, describing this as the
default config file location.  (I found 5 instances, searching for the doubled
slash character.)  The correct default appears to be simply /etc/man.conf.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.man man
2.look for instances of "/usr//etc/man.config"
3.
