Prioritizing the same as Don prioritized bug 46429.

I'm assuming each of these 38 files will take maybe an hour to document
properly, hence the time estimate.

Important, but not required for 1.0.3.

I'm not sure which of these really need man pages.  I think they only need man
pages if a user or admin is likely to run them on the command line (for
binaries) or edit them by hand (for configuration files).  The ones which, at a
glance, seem to fall into this category are:
/usr/bin/nautilus
/usr/bin/nautilus-clean.sh
/usr/bin/run-nautilus
/etc/pam.d/eazel-helper
/etc/security/console.apps/eazel-helper

If anybody thinks any others should have man pages, or that any of these don't
need man pages, please say so.

Accepting bug and changing estimate to 8 hours.

Comment 1 John Fleck 2001-09-16 14:00:55 UTC 
I'm marking this "future". I don't see a pressing need for this. Also,
changing Dan's email address.
Dan - working with the docs for libxml, I'm pretty much set up to make
man pages from DocBook xml source, so if we need to do this before the
2.0 release it is now relatively straightforward.
Comment 2 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-03-20 06:58:17 UTC 
Is this ever actually going to be done. if so then we should confirm
and mark as new, obviously, if not close.
Comment 3 John Fleck 2002-03-20 13:44:54 UTC 
I still don't see a need. Closing.
