There's a security hole in man-2.0a2 if the program is installed
setuid (and typing `make install' does that). Users can gain damemon's
rights, and probabily root's as well. I sent a patch to correct this
to the autor. In the mean time I recommand that you do:
# chmod 755 /usr/bin/man
Note: I think that this problem exists in all previous versions of
this man package. So event if you use an old one you should not setuid
it!
