[CentOS] CentOS 7, man
This is... odd. >From my workstation, where I'm directly logged in, if I ssh to any CentOS 7 box, as myself, and try to run man, it fails. Example 1: man dd man: cannot write to /var/cache/man/cat1/dd.1.gz in catman mode dd. Example 2: man dd man: can't chmod (null): Bad address man: can't unlink (null): Bad address dd. In all cases, if I sudo -s to root, I have no trouble reading the manpage.
