/usr/bin/apropos contains:
---snip---
# If possible check global system configuration file for additional
# man locales installed
if [ -r /etc/defaults/rc.conf ] ; then
. /etc/defaults/rc.conf
elif [ -r /etc/rc.conf ] ; then
. /etc/rc.conf
fi
---snip---
and /etc/defaults/rc.conf:
---snip---
man_locales="NO" # space separated list of man locales (or NO)
---snip---
Do we have to live with this or is it subject to change (it gives me a
bad taste to have rc.conf sourced everytime apropos is used)? What about
making it an environment variable (just set it in login.conf) or
enhancing /etc/manpath.config (BTW: everithing is named *.conf except
manpath.config)?
Bye,
Alexander.
