Yup, got it under /usr/local/share/man/man5.  Thanks Andrew.

(And yes, having a copy on the web will help too.  Thanks for posting
it.)

It'll be installed in /usr/local/share/man/man5 by default. If you
modified where to install cosign with the configure script's --prefix
option, the location of the manpage will also change, e.g.:

./configure --enable-apache2=... --prefix=/usr/cosign

will cause the manpage(s) to be installed in /usr/cosign/share/man. You
can also explicitly set the mandir with --mandir, e.g.:

./configure --enable-apache2=... --prefix=/usr/cosign
--mandir=/usr/share/man

If you still can't find the manpages, check the daemon directory in the
source. cosign.conf.5 and cosignd.8 should be there. To view them, try:

nroff -man cosign.conf.5 | more

I'll get one posted on weblogin.org or the wiki. Thanks for pointing
this out.
