Most admins will edit their /etc/sudoers file to give themselves sudo access, so they could run [username at machinename ~]$ sudo yum install man-1.6f* man-pages-3.22-* (which will then prompt for the user's password, not the root password) instead of logging in as root. See http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/BecomingRoot Hope that helps!
