Looks like the Solaris at work is missing man pages then :(

I'll have to dig about. I'd put no incompetence past work's sysadmins so
they probably deleted half of them and didn't notice. (They *are* DBAs,
not sysadmins, to be fair: we don't have any official sysadmins, and
they won't let me near root for some incomprehensible reason. I mean, if
I needed it I could get it in minutes because they've never applied
*any* security patches, and I have control of NFS clients that they are
the server for and vice versa... *sigh*)

(They've deleted /usr/bin/i* before and didn't notice until I mentioned
the absence of id(1)... I could have mentioned install(1) and ipcs(8),
but I doubt they'd know what they were :( )

So not terribly useful then. :)

Such a *nice* system, and SysV buggered it up so badly :(
