Description Sakari Lehtonen 2002-05-06 17:33:03 UTC 
I was just wondering why the shell variable MANPATH doesn`t include
/usr/local/share/man by default ? I can`t read manual pages installed in there
without editing this variable .. easy to fix, but just wondering.

Seems to work fine here (default man config) ?
