configuration file The file is the  configuration  file  for  the
program.   It consists of blocks of lines separated by specifica-
tions, with each line containing  two  fields:  the  field  which
specifies  the types of messages and priorities to which the line
applies, and an field which specifies the action to be taken if a
message  receives  matches  the selection criteria.  The field is
separated from the field by one  or  more  tab  characters.   The
function  are encoded as a a period (``.''), and a with no inter-
vening white-space.  Both the and the are case insensitive.   The
describes  the  part of the system generating the message, and is
one of the following  keywords:  auth,  authpriv,  cron,  daemon,

Please suggest

1)  Just use /usr/share/man instead of /usr/share/man/man in your
MANPATH.  man looks in subdirectories of this directory that are named
after sections.
2) The subdirectories of the directory that you placed in your MANPATH
should be named man* or sman* where * is replaced by the section name
(example:  /usr/share/man/sman3c/).  These subdirectories contain the
actual man pages.  "man*" directories contain nroff pages, "sman*"
directories contain SGML.  Don't put them in a subdirectory called
man.  I would suggest renaming /usr/share/man/man to
/usr/share/man/man8 and you could be set (CHECK FIRST:  make sure man8
doesn't already exist).  You might also have to add man8 to the
/usr/share/man/man.cf file.
