I've just found two hidden files that I think are being installed by accident by the app-crypt/mit-krb5 ebuild. I can't be sure whether this effects previous versions, but I suspect it does. The files are: /usr/share/man/man5/.k5identity.5 /usr/share/man/man5/.k5login.5 which, as you can see, are hidden files within the man page directory structure. They both are identified, using the "file" command, as: troff or preprocessor input, ASCII text and each contain just one line: starbug ~ # cat /usr/share/man/man5/.k5login.5 /usr/share/man/man5/.k5identity.5 .so man5/k5login.5 .so man5/k5identity.5 Here is the full list of man page files installed for version =app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.14.3 on my system: starbug ~ # equery f =app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.14.3 | grep man /usr/share/man /usr/share/man/cat1 /usr/share/man/cat5 /usr/share/man/cat8 /usr/share/man/man1 /usr/share/man/man1/k5srvutil.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/kadmin.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/kdestroy.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/kinit.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/klist.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/kpasswd.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/krb5-config.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/ksu.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/kswitch.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/ktutil.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/kvno.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/sclient.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man5 /usr/share/man/man5/.k5identity.5 /usr/share/man/man5/.k5login.5 /usr/share/man/man5/k5identity.5.bz2 /usr/share/man/man5/k5login.5.bz2 /usr/share/man/man5/kadm5.acl.5.bz2 /usr/share/man/man5/kdc.conf.5.bz2 /usr/share/man/man5/krb5.conf.5.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8 /usr/share/man/man8/kadmin.local.8 /usr/share/man/man8/kadmind.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/kdb5_ldap_util.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/kdb5_util.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/kprop.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/kpropd.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/kproplog.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/krb5kdc.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/sserver.8.bz2 As you can see, only "k5identity" & "k5login" seem to have this extra file, so I'm sure these are just installed by mistake and serve no purpose; please correct me if I'm wrong.

Looks intentional to me. ~/.k5login and ~/.k5identity are files you'd install in your home. The hidden man page flies are just so you can say 'man k5login' or 'man .k5login' See the output of man k5login: > DESCRIPTION > The .k5identity file, which resides in a user's home directory, ... Looks to be intentional from krb5's src/man/Makefile.in: > install-fileman: > $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/dot.k5identity.5 \ > $(DESTDIR)$(FILE_MANDIR)/.k5identity.5 > $(INSTALL_DATA) k5identity.sub $(DESTDIR)$(FILE_MANDIR)/k5identity.5 > $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/dot.k5login.5 \ > $(DESTDIR)$(FILE_MANDIR)/.k5login.5
