[Felipe Mendel N. Prates]

Here it is...

[root at server:~]# man bash
(output ok, the man page is displayed)

[root at server:~]# echo $MANPATH
(null)

[root at server:~]# eval `/kolab/etc/rc --eval all env`

[root at server:~]# man bash
(null, no man page displayed)

[root at server:~]# echo $MANPATH
/kolab/man:/kolab/local/man::/usr/share/man

[root at server:~]# unset MANPATH

[root at server:~]# echo $MANPATH
(null)

[root at server:~]# man bash
(null, no man page displayed)
