I have been doing the CLFS stable book with an AMD 64 ATHLON.  I got to the 
shadow chapter and the passwd command would not allow user interaction.  I then 
ran man passwd and found that the man
comand did not work either.  

I narrowed the man problem down to the less command since nroff worked on man 
pages.  ALso the 
command 

# less --help | more

will work.

the command

#less --help

will beep and exit.  Apparently output is being sent somewhere.  This is when I 
use xterm in a Debian Gnome terminal.  

If I use a standard linux terminal, a screenful of text displays and then beep 
and exit.
