Description Mark Bolusmjak 2002-01-09 17:39:29 UTC

To reproduce the bug:
1. Set a user's default shell to /bin/zsh.
2. Log in as that user.
3. Try to "man" a man page.

Sorry, my mistake.
It turns out zsh is not reading /etc/zprofile. Without proper 
environmental variables set man won't work.
"source /etc/zprofile" fixes the problem.
