Hi again,
I've got a nagging irritant with either putty or the man pages, or
perhaps my setup. If I use putty to log into my server and request any
man page, it returns the page, but really important stuff like keywords
are blank. Is this perhaps caused by the wrong terminal setting in
putty or is there something with Centos man pages that cause this to happen?
Thanks again,
Sam
Sam, Are you using putty from a microsoft desktop or a linux desktop? If you are using a linux desktop try using konsole or terminal for the connection and see if you get the same symptoms. We use putty for all of our microsoft connections and konsole for all of our linux connections and I have never noticed the problem you are describing.

If keywords are blank, I would first check that the "Default Bold Foreground" is not set to the same value as "Default Bold Background" in the 'Colours' settings. Also check the character set on the 'Translation' settings. I use UTF-8. -- Jeff
