Description:   Opened: 2002-12-20 16:28 0000 
I've found a way to get man to work with the latest groff.  In addition, I've
also fixed 
the groff ebuild so that it installs correctly.  I also have some patches to
fix security 
holes in man.  All of these are contained in the groff+man tarball.  I've
tested 
extensively, but I think it should go through more testing still.  Will you
have a look at 
it and see if it fits the bill?

I've cc'ed this at seemants request to security@gentoo.org, in the hopes that
they 
might review some of the changes in the man patch which redhat identified as
being 
fixes to potential exploits.  Note these fixes come straight from redhat's
latest rawhide 
man rpm.

The patches for man .. are it only one, or a few ?  Any chance you can send
them to me with the original names ?  Just make things easier in future
with new releases ... thanks.

Added groff-1.18-r2 and man-1.5k-r1, thanks.
