[WBEL-users] man doesnt work

[bishop]

Li ming,

'man cp' as a non-root user is working fine for me, but 'set' shows no 
special setting for 'MANPATH'.  I'm thinking that something may have 
gone moderately wrong with your set-up.

Let's compare:

> [steve@smog steve]$ set | grep MANP
(no output)
> [steve@smog steve]$ logout
> [root@smog root]# rpm -Vf /etc/man.config
> [root@smog root]# md5sum /etc/man.config
> 29a70993aa2f2d22ffbde8ca7739bbd1  /etc/man.config

> [root@smog root]# ls -ld /usr/share/man/man1/cp.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1 /usr/share/man /usr/share /usr
> drwxr-xr-x   15 root     root         4096 Sep  6 17:07 /usr
> drwxr-xr-x  139 root     root         4096 Sep  9 15:54 /usr/share
> drwxr-xr-x   26 root     root         4096 Sep  6 17:09 /usr/share/man
> drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root        24576 Sep  9 16:21 /usr/share/man/man1
> -rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1959 Dec 11  2003 /usr/share/man/man1/cp.1.gz

How does yours look?
