What were you trying to do?
Get the man page for named by running "man named".
What's wrong:
The cat page that it displays, /usr/athena/man/cat8/named.8,
appears to be screwed up. It starts in what seems to be the
middle man page, and the formatting is poor:
is the Internet domain name server. See RFC's 1033, 1034, and
1035 for more information on the Internet name-domain system.
Without any arguments, will read the default configuration file
[etc.]
Since "nroff -man /usr/athena/man/man8/named.8" produces the same
bad output, but "groff -Tascii -mandoc /usr/athena/man/man8/named.8"
produces better output, I assume that the cat page was processed with
the wrong macro set.
What should have happened:
A correctly formatted man page should have been displayed.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
named(8), nroff(1), groff(1) in the gnu locker.
