  Before I powered down, while looking through the

 But, on the VM and different box I am on on now, running Fedora 33, I
 get:
 [gary@entertain Mail]$ man -k date
 date: nothing appropriate.
 [gary@entertain Mail]$ man date
 [gary@entertain Mail]$ man man
 Where man date returns a man page.  And according to the man page for
 man:
 man -k printf
     Search the short descriptions and manual page names for the keyword
     printf  as  regular expression.  Print out any matches.  Equivalent
     to apropos printf.
 Obviously man -k doesn't work.
 I've been noticing more and more cruft like this.  All kinds of things,
 especially at the command line, where you can see, are broken.
 I'm temporarily working from my entertainment system.
 In reading so far, it looks like this is some kind of SSH key attack.
 Makes me wonder why the default permissions in .ssh are what they are.
 I must be missing somehting because the articles seem to call the .pub
 file the private key.  One even had a graphic with xxx.pub circled, to
 show me where the private key is.
