A place for everything and everything in its place. Man pages are extremely useful because they are concise. Tutorial-style documents with all the extra verbiage and repetition are also useful but best as a separate document (probably on the web). The ssh manpage is quite long already, though nowhere near the worst offender (bash comes to mind), and I would side with Stuart. -- Hans Fugal ; http://hans.fugal.net There's nothing remarkable about it.
