installing openssh man pages in /usr/man/man*

[phil-new...@ipal.net]

Openssh is installing man pages in ${mandir}/cat* and my man command is not
looking at those files. While blaming the man command may be right, I do
want to know how to make openssh install man pages like other packages do.
Why does openssh have to be different? Is that the OpenBSD way?

It is installing in ${mandir}/man* here.

What platform are you talking about? If configure can't find or can't
use nroff, it'll fall back to catman-type man pages.

You can also override these at configure time:

$ ./configure --help
--mandir=DIR man documentation [PREFIX/man]
--with-mantype=man|cat|doc Set man page type
