Bug 70880 – gpasswd should be mentioned in SEE ALSO part of other man pages

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Eric Brown 2004-11-11 15:35:26 UTC]

Not sure what to do with this yet, but I noticed that gpasswd was not mentioned in SEE ALSO in the following man pages (where it probably should be mentioned):

usermod
groupadd
groupdel

I guess this should go upstream, but I was wondering if we should patch the man pages here first, or just try to contact the authors.

this is clearly a UPSTREAM... please contact the upstream maintainers.. 

[Comment 2 Eric Brown 2004-12-08 09:20:38 UTC]

I want to submit a patch for the relevant files, the author's email isn't active, and the upstream people don't seem to respond to anything.  I think the gentoo man page users would benefit from it..


Can I do that?
