I have the catman option enabled for periodic/weekly and get the following errors: Reformatting manual pages: catman: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.4/man/cat3: mkdir: Permission denied catman: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.4/perl/man/cat3: mkdir: Permission denied It seems that the cat3 directories are not created because the man directories are owned by root, and the cat* directories are owned by man, which is what the 330.catman script operates as. Creating those directories with the proper permissions allows the catman periodic script to do its thing. So my question is, is this something that the catman periodic script should be doing, or should the perl port be doing it? Doug
