Link it to tzfile(5) and add some information about /etc/localtime in
the manpage? Note the localtime(3) manpage is not a lot of help for
this file.

I would expect most people can probably find the malloc(3) manpage on
their own. It describes the file.

Again, I think objformat(1) is an easy find.

Links to passwd(5).

I think localtime(5) is warranted too. However, I think malloc(3) is
pretty easy for someone to find if they have questions about
/etc/malloc.conf.
