You need MANPATH setup to really use the man pages effectively. They
are never setup by default in Solaris or OpenSolaris.
1. Want to do "man -k <string> searches?
Setup the root MANPATH to include the man directories you want. You
get one by default in OpenSolaris but you can add to it.
r...@motie:~# env | grep MANPATH
MANPATH=/usr/gnu/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11/share/man
2. Build or rebuild the catman windex database files as root and it uses
the root MANPATH to do this.
catman -w
Add third party packages with a "man" subdirectory which you want to
search. Add it to the root MANPATH and rerun "catman -w".
3. Any user can now do a "man -k <string>" search to list man pages that
hold the string.
4. Without the windex database files a user can still run "man ftp" but
it only follows the users MANPATH setting.
Setting up the windex database on new servers is very useful.
