man 5 config on my system gives you the man page for SSL config. Here is 
actually what is there:

[paul@Beaker paul]$ man -aw config | xargs ls -l
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         4017 May  4  2000 
/usr/man/man5/config.5.gz
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        82846 May 29  2000 /usr/man/man5/config.5f
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        23496 May 29  2000 
/usr/man/man5/config.5f.gz

man 5f config doesn't give you the correct man page. The only way I can get 
this man page is to:

[paul@Beaker paul]$ man -a config

config(5)                    OpenSSL                    config(5)

NAME
        config - OpenSSL CONF library configuration files

DESCRIPTION
        The OpenSSL CONF library can be used to read configuration 
files.  It is used for the OpenSSL master
        configuration file openssl.cnf and in a few other places like SPKAC 
files and certificate extension files for
        the x509 utility.

since my pager is "less" then I hit q to get to the next file:

<standard input>:105: warning: can't find special character `dg'
<standard input>:108: warning: can't find special character `dd'

CONFIG(5F)                                             CONFIG(5F)

NAME
        config - HylaFAX configuration database

DESCRIPTION
        HylaFAX  uses  a  configuration file for the central queueing agent 
and for each facsimile modem attached to a
        machine.  These files contain information about the modems and 
about how the  HylaFAX  server  processes  that
        service  these modem should operate.  Configuration files are 
located in the etc subdirectory.  The configura­
        tion file for 
the  faxq(8C)  program  is  named  config.   The  per-modem  configuration 
files  used  by  the
        faxgetty(8C),  faxsend(8C),  and  pagesend(8C) programs have names 
of the form config.devid, where devid is an
        identifier derived from the name of the modem's device file; for 
example ttym2  for  /dev/ttym2,  term_10  for
        /dev/term/10.

So I think that there is a bug in the man page causing the opening error 
message and possibly the manpage could be renamed or relocated to a 
different section.

Anybody have a better solution?
