Sorry I'm answering my own mail. At that time the mandoc.db was
updated, I installed some packages, nginx, php72, could having a wrong
umask in my shell have caused this?

Hi,
I did something I should not have done. I wrote a manpage and placed
it in /usr/share/man/man7/ instead of /usr/local/... However when I
did this the permissions on mandoc went screwy I don't know why.
beta# ls -lh /usr/local/man/mandoc.db
-rw------- 1 root wheel 862K Jan 28 20:56 /usr/local/man/mandoc.db
beta# chmod 644 /usr/local/man/mandoc.db
beta# crontab -l | grep umask
beta# ls -lc /usr/share/man/man7/alphabet.7
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2845 Jan 28 15:02
/usr/share/man/man7/alphabet.7
beta# umask
022
It also couldn't have been weekly crontab, it runs at 3:30AM,
something else caused the mandoc.db to be rebuilt and inherited a
weird umask.
Unfortunately this is all I can give to try to backtrack what
happened. Ideas for next time to prevent this or suggestions how
this happened would be nice.
I grepped through the mandoc source and didn't find a mention of umask.
