What were you trying to do?
Read the telnet man page (cattable version).
What's wrong:
It's rather short (zero bytes).
# ls -l telnet.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 65536 sys 0 Jul 08 13:52 telnet.1
# pwd
/afs/athena.mit.edu/system/rs_aix32/srvd.77/usr/athena/man/cat1
#
I hypothesize that is is because it failed to be generated from
the source as it requires mandoc macros from BSD4.4.
# pwd
/afs/athena.mit.edu/system/rs_aix32/srvd.77/usr/athena/man/man1
# nroff -man telnet.1 | more
nroff: can't open file /usr/athena/lib/tmac/tmac.doc; line 34, file telnet.1
This is because /usr/athena/lib/tmac does not exist for the AIX srvd.77.
For the DECstations, f'rinstance, it does exist:
# ls -ld /afs/athena/system/rs_aix32/srvd/usr/athena/lib/tmac
/afs/athena/system/rs_aix32/srvd/usr/athena/lib/tmac not found
# ls -ld /afs/athena/system/pmax_ul4/srvd/usr/athena/lib/tmac
drwxrwxr-x 2 65536 system 2048 Jul 10 20:51 /afs/athena/system/pmax_ul4/srvd/usr/athena/lib/tmac
What should have happened:
Somebody should fix the /srvd to contain the right macros, and put in
the preformatted manpage.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Under AIX? Sorry, it's too slow.
