I've been dragging around a copy of xman since it was dropped from the 
RH distributions for several years now.  It worked great on RH9 and 
SL4.1.  I'm currently testing SL5.2 and xman does not appear to be 
finding any manual pages anymore.  I've verified MANPATH and everything 
else looks to be correct, as compared to my 4.1 setup.

I'm curious if anyone can shed some light on the subject.  I doubt 
anyone else is still dragging xman around...  Are the manpages being 
handled/generated differently in SL 5 vs 4?

As a side note, I've noticed the 'makewhatis' script is now back in 
/usr/sbin (as opposed to /usr/bin) and not executable by a normal user.  
Probably TUV's fault, but this script should be executable as a normal 
user, as passing -o allows for creating local, user-owned whatis files.

Cheers,
Mark
