-rwxr-sr-x   1 root     man         32320 Apr  9 19:26 /usr/bin/man

man expects stuff in cat to be writeable by the man group.

My RPMs only installs the nroff source.  Formatted man pages are a waste of
space.

I also gzip nroff source whenever possible.  Qmail is already messy enough,
so I don't bother in this case.
