If I man man on the local RH 8.0 machine, everything displays correctly. If I ssh from the local RH 8.0 machine to a session on a RH 7.1 and do a man man, everything displays correctly except for the end-of-line continuation hypen. the name of a command, function, or file. However, if name contains a slash (/) then man inter? prets it as a file specification, so that you can do man ./foo.5 or even man /cd/foo/bar.1.gz. It displays as a question mark. Is this a RH 8 or RH 7.1 or something else issue? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
