The man and mandb program can be installed with the set-user-id bit set, so that they will run with the permissions of the 'man' user. This allows ordinary users to benefit from the caching of preformatted manual pages ('cat pages'), which may aid performance on slower machines. . Cached man pages only work if you are using an 80-column terminal, to avoid one user causing cat pages to be saved at widths that would be inconvenient for other users. If you use a wide terminal, you can force man pages to be formatted to 80 columns anyway by setting MANWIDTH=80. . Enabling this feature may be a security risk, so it is disabled by default. If in doubt, you should leave it disabled. Template: man-db/auto-update Type: boolean Default: false Description: for internal use; can be preseeded If true, automatically rebuild man-db's database when packages containing manual pages are installed.
