>Description:
compare the contents of suser(9) and /usr/include/sys/priv.h ...
the latter no longer has the definition of the function.

It's not clear to me if the man page for suser(9) should just
be removed, or retained as a pointer to priv_check(9).
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to compile a module that uses suser, and get "No such file or directory" when trying to load it.
>Fix:
Remove the suser(9) manpage?
