Anne, Mikkel,
Does man iptables work from command-line?



Hi, Rick. I have no problem accessing it from the command line. It's just for eye comfort that I wanted to do it in konqueror. At a pinch I could read it in a root console, which would certainly be easier than in a user console, but I don't like to do unnecessary things as root. Perhaps I got the command wrong in konqueror?

The path searched for man pages is not the same as the one searched for programs. You do not have to be root to read the man pages for commands that are normally restricted to root. The default man path is controlled by a config file in /etc. But if the man command works right from the command line, then that is not the problem here.
