Different versions of 'man' work slightly differently on different
systems.  So take my suggestions as indications of places to look,
rather than absolute cures.

ISTM that /usr/man is a symbolic link to /usr/share/man on some Solaris
systems.  If this is NOT the case, then:
	If you have a $MANPATH defined, append /usr/share/man:
		C-type shells:	setenv MANPATH ${MANPATH}:/usr/share/man
		other shells:	export MANPATH=${MANPATH}:/usr/share/man
	If you do not have a $MANPATH defined, create one:
		C-type shells:	setenv MANPATH /usr/man:/usr/share/man
		other shells:	export MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/share/man

If this does not work, it may be that this version of 'man' needs
something in .../man/manX before it will notice the version in
.../man/catX.  In that case, 'touch' the requisite files; but make them
older than the files in catX.  E.g.:
	touch -t 198001010000 man8/ndc.8

If this does not work, I'm not sure what to tell you.
