hi, try to check this file inside user home dir: # cd $HOME # ls -la # more .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi # User specific environment and startup programs PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin export PATH unset USERNAME --- On Tue, 1/20/09, Erling Ringen Elvsrud <erlingre@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Erling Ringen Elvsrud <erlingre@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Man command not working as a ordinary user To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Date: Tuesday, January 20, 2009, 6:21 PM Hello, For instance "man ls" works as usual as root, but when executed as an ordinary user nothing appears exept "(END)" from the pager (less). I have used rpm -V on the man and man-pages pacakges without finding any changes and have also reinstalled both packages. The /var directory was moved from the root filesystem to its own a while ago, but I did not notice anything after. The files was moved from the old /var to the new with the following command: "cd /var; tar cpf - ./* | tar xvpf - -C /newvar/" so I think all permissions and ownerships should be correct. /var was later moved to /oldvar and /newvar to var. I cannot think of any other actions potentially interfering with man. Do you have any suggestions for where I can start looking for errors?
