Btw., catman(1) is your friend. Pick a weekend where the machine
would otherwise sit idle, and run (as root):
su man -c 'catman /usr/share/man /usr/local/man /usr/X11R6/man'
I think due to some installation problem, there were no cat directories
in 2.1R, so you have to (assuming the default C-shell for root)
mkdir /usr/share/man/cat{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
chmod 755 /usr/share/man/cat*
chown man:bin /usr/share/man/cat*
first.
