Hi, On systems that have mandoc installed but are missing an nroff binary, the configure script will fall back to pre-formatted manual pages despite the fact that mandoc could be used. The proposed patch adds mandoc as a valid formatter to configure.ac. As mandoc supports the -mdoc flag, it can simply be added to the list of nroff-like binaries. Wolfgang -------...

Hi, Just tested the latest snapshot on RHL72 via building RPM's of it. Nroff detection was wrong, and if no --with-mantype was specified, the type would always revert to cat. This one-byter fixes it. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems. Networks. Security...

Hi, I am sorry about this stupid question but after compilation of openssh-2.3.0p1 the manpages were installed but a man ssh gives only unstructured response without underlined lines etc. A nroff -man sshd.8 gives the same output but the contents of the file shows a nroff-format. Any ideas?

I am using R 1.2.3 on Linux Mandrake 7.2. I have a ton of S Nroff help files that end with source code typified by the following: Last S statement in an example, e.g. X <- y ..KW models ..KW regression ..WR When using R RMD Sd2Rd to create the .Rd file I get X <- y \keyword{models} \keyword{regression} } The } matches a { in \examples{ at the beginning...

...thod is the or method combined with RSA-based host authentication. It means that if the login would be permit- ted by or and if additionally the server can verify the client's host key (see and in the section), only then login is permitted. ... etc. The same happens if I use directly 'nroff -man ssh.1 | more'. (both /usr/bin/nroff and /usr/local/bin/nroff (aka groff 1.16.1)). Yours, H.Schwengeler (schwengeler at ubaclu.unibas.ch)

Thanks to Brian Ripley I have been using R utilities for some time for converting S-Plus UNIX nroff help files to .Rd to .html files. .Rd files seem to be the most natural format for help files and this format is probably easier to maintain than nroff, so I would like to start using .Rd files as my master documentation format if anyone has a utility for going from .Rd to nroff. I guess I could...

Documentation for S3 functions is apparently written in troff markup with macro tags like .BG .FN .TL .DN .CS ... Inspection of S3 documentation source files gives a pretty clear idea of what these mean, semantically (and Sd2Rd is a perl script which converts this markup into the Rd format, providing further semantic information along the way). My query is: Can anyone point to troff

Dear list, I have some help file for S-Plus 2000 in .d and .sgml format. Is there a way to translate these files to .Rd files to use in an R package? Thanks Fredrik Lundgren

...e you'll get errors about __builtin_va_alist, which Solaris cc provides but GNU does not. I put /usr/include as -idirafter instead of -I, and it worked for me. Perhaps check for -idirafter as a compiler option, and use it if available? - The man pages don't format properly ("what nroff" gives roff: n1.c 2.13). All the text runs together into one long paragraph. I am unfamiliar with writing man and nroff, and my attempts to fix things just made it worse. ` Jay Levitt

...n 80 column wrapped text. The Solaris 8 is pretty generic, with all the current patches. OpenSSH version is 2.9p1.

Right out of the box (after I made Damien's LDFLAGS fix in configure) using gcc-2.95.2. The only problem I have now is the man pages. I still can't read them using Solaris nroff, and when I tried to build with --with-catman=cat, I got the following during a make install: /rtr/bin/install -c -m 644 ssh.[01].out /usr/local/man/cat1/ssh.1 Try `/rtr/bin/install --help' for more information.

Please keep the nroff versions and the old help() interface around, I suspect things like Emacs S-mode would break without it (or will it break anyway?).

Hi, could somebody be so kind to check in the follwoing patch? It fixes two problems: - contrib/cygwin/Makefile: Installs new docs and stops trying to install RFC.nroff. - contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config: Fixes a condition which tries to find out if ssh or sshd processes are still running. The old version unfortunately stumbles over user names which contain the substring "ssh" :} Thanks in advance, Corinna Index: contrib/cygwin/Makefile =====...

Hi all. I can't read the openssh man pages on Solaris. I tried all the nroff macro packages I could find, with more or less garbled success. Could someone point me to versions suitable for Solaris, or a man2sgml converter? Or to a good online tutorial covering this issue (SysV vs. BSD?) that would allow me to translate the nroff dialects involved? In the latter case, I...

I've noticed that the man pages provided in the tarball do not work on Solaris - the output is not formatted as expected. On a linux box it is possible to view the man pages using nroff -mdoc ./sshd.8, where prepended file is /usr/lib/groff/tmac/tmac.doc. There does not appear to be an equivelent macro file on Solaris 2.6. Does anybody know how I can get the man pages to display properly on Solaris. Thanks
