I just encountered a fascinating problem with NetBSD 1.2's man
utility. I installed INN 1.5.1 and tried to display a man file and it
worked. I tried to read another man file, in the very same path, and
it didn't work. *shrug*

All man files are installed in /usr/local/inn/man/... and the
/etc/man.conf has the following entry:

 | _default	/usr/{share,X11R6,local}/{inn,emacs,mgetty,elm,ghostscript,lynx,metamail,perl5,netpbm,teTeX,cvs,}/{man}/

Okay, man5 looks as follows:

 | root@phoenix:/usr/local/inn/man/man5# ls
 | active.5        expire.ctl.5    inn.conf.5      newsfeeds.5     nntpsend.ctl.5
 | control.ctl.5   history.5       innwatch.ctl.5  newslog.5       overview.fmt.5
 | distrib.pats.5  hosts.nntp.5    moderators.5    nnrp.access.5   passwd.nntp.5

Then I execute:

 | root@phoenix:/usr/local/inn/man/man5# man active

and the man file appears just fine. But this one

 | root@phoenix:/usr/local/inn/man/man5# man moderators   
 | man: no entry for moderators in the manual.

doesn't work.

Both files have the same permissions:

 | root@phoenix:/usr/local/inn/man/man5# ls -l active.5 moderators.5
 | -r--r--r--  1 root  news  3907 Dec 25 20:35 active.5
 | -r--r--r--  1 root  news  1647 Dec 25 20:35 moderators.5


Does anybody have an idea how to fix that problem? I am running out of
ideas here. :-(
