>Description:
(cvsweb says, that su.1 hasn't been changed in half a year, and query-pr form didn't find anything relevant)
There's some typos in su(1) man page:
When option "-l" is discussed, there's duplication in "PATH is set to is set to the path specified in the".
When compile time options are discussed, there's option "SU_INDIRECT_GROOP", although:
sk5-50-1% grep INDIRECT /usr/src/usr.bin/su/su.c
* FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
#ifdef SU_INDIRECT_GROUP
#ifdef SU_INDIRECT_GROUP
#ifdef SU_INDIRECT_GROUP
>How-To-Repeat:
man 1 su
>Fix:
I tried to browse through su.1, otherwise it looks OK (in fact, I found the duplication typo this way, originally I only noticed typo in environmental variable). Here's a quick patch (oh, I even tested it works...):
