Only the former part of the program needs to run as user man, A man-daemon? Or a 6755 root.man rendering part? Wouldn't simpy let every user have his own cache be much simpler and not even too much worse, since different users tend to read different manpages? A cronjob could collect these per-user cached pages into a shared cache if this is really needed, and clean up the user caches. ciao, 2ri -- All constants are variables.
