Hello,

	the man pages for openssh-2.3.0p1 look bad on our Tru64 Unix V4.0E
systems.

(Secure Shell) is a program for logging into a remote machine and
for executing commands on a remote machine.  It  is  intended  to
replace  rlogin  and rsh, and provide secure encrypted communica-
tions between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network.   X11
connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over
the secure channel.  connects and logs  into  the  specified  The
user  must prove his/her identity to the remote machine using one
of several methods depending on the protocol version used: First,
if  the  machine  the  user  logs  in from is listed in or on the
remote machine, and the user names are the same  on  both  sides,
the  user  is  immediately  permitted  to  log in.  Second, if or
exists in the user's home directory on  the  remote  machine  and
contains a line containing the name of the client machine and the
name of the user on that machine, the user is  permitted  to  log
in.  This form of authentication alone is normally not allowed by
the server because it is not secure.  The  second  (and  primary)
authentication  method  is  the or method combined with RSA-based
host authentication.  It means that if the login would be permit-
ted  by or and if additionally the server can verify the client's
host key (see and in the section), only then login is  permitted.
... etc.

The same happens if I use directly 'nroff -man ssh.1 | more'.
(both /usr/bin/nroff and /usr/local/bin/nroff (aka groff 1.16.1)).
