Sure, the maintainer *could* rename the spamassassin "spamd" to supposedly prevent confusion and/or supposedly make thing easy for a novice but the best answer is accepting the fact that names are not unique and accepting the fact that learning to correctly use the system will give the desired results. $ man -w spamd /usr/share/man/cat8/spamd.0 /usr/local/man/man8/spamd.8 $ man -M /usr/local/man: spamd __or__ $ man -M /usr/share/man: spamd If we start fighting the battle to keep all names unique across all software, we are bound to lose, miss things, and eventually have a system that is even more confusing to use due to the mistakes, oversights and omissions. my .02 Kind Regards, JCR
