[SunRescue] Where can I get man and man pages?

[Chris Byrne]

All,

Something is not quite right about my man pages. they have little single
character errors all over the places. I think maybe my man files are corrupt
and I'd like to reinstall them, but I have no idea where to get just the
package for solaris man, and the default system manpages. Could someone send
me/make avialable to me/direct me to the contents of /usr/share/man (and any
other system default man pages), and send me/make avalable to me/direct me
to the original Solaris man package?

I cant find them on my install cd's, or on any sun sites (or the common
freeware sites) since it's assumed by all that man will always be there I
guess

Thanks

Chris Byrne

All,

something really weird is happening with my system. As I've mentioned I've
jsut rebuilt my U10 after some major league penetration testing. Well I
spent the morning installing the packages necessary for a useful system (why
couldn't Sun include these? I mean they are all free fer chrissakes. Just
take all of sun freeware and burn it onto a cd and distribute it every few
months like SGI does) and something weird happens.

As far as I know nothing I installed should break man, but for some reason I
can no longer read man pages. They are still there, and I can view them with
nroff, but no matter what I do (manpath, explicitly specifying the file etc)
man always returns "no manual page for <x>"

Any ideas?
