For the comfort of my eyes I wanted to read man pages in konqueror, but got the errorThere are a couple of problems here. The first is that PATH and MANPATH are not the same. The second is that $PATH is a shell varable that you set, or is set for you when you log in. You can defind a shell varable in a couple of ways.
No man page matching to iptables found. You can extend the search path by setting the environment variable MANPATH before starting KDE.
I tried to set the variable - probably doing it completely wrong, but I've clearly screwed up $PATH.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] anne]# $PATH
bash: /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin: No such file or directory
I presume there's a text file somewhere that I can edit to clean this up?

VARABLE="some value" PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
What happens when you use $PATH, $HOME or any of the other shell varables in a command line is that the value of the varable is used when processing the command. When you type $PATH on the command line, you were in effect trying to run the command:
/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:
Bash complained that it could not find that command.
Now, as far as you not being to read the IP tables man page, I can not check on what pakage the man page is part of at the moment, but if noone else fills in that part of the answer, then I will get back to you later on it.
