No. My mail reflects how OpenAFS works when you type "make install", which is at least as official as: > That site is (or am I mistaken?) > an official place where to look for information. It is. That I can edit the page (which, again, has nothing to do with where the commands get installed, but reflects only man subdirectories) suggests either my opinion has some bearing, or that I am clever and apply the policy OpenAFS has shaped to my work. I'd like to think it's the latter. > > You know, I could have committed the (openafs) port since I got it > build/install/deinstall succesfully.

And let me try again to state what seems to be going over your head. That page has nothing to do with what the commands are for. It reflects which man pages are in man1 ("User commands") and which are in man8 ("Administrative commands") That's it. It's not policy, or any such other thing.
