I have man page for news-recovery, I tried to add it into windex

-> and then the man failing, so we aliases man to man -F. Yes, I know
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-> its slower, but its usually only admins doing man anyway, and we've
^^^^^^^^^^
That's the reason why I use windex, I want it faster...my machine is pretty
slow...

1. Solaris 2.4 x86: man(1) does not use `man.cf'
I have a system running Solaris-2.4-x86 which exhibits the
following strange behaviour: the man(1) command does not
care about the `man.cf' file in /usr/share/man and thus
shows e.g. df(1b) before df(1m).
I also have a Solaris-2.4-SPARC system where man(1) works
as expected -- with an identical `man.cf'.
Example on x86:
/usr/share/man: search the sections lexicographically
mandir path = /usr/share/man
search in = /usr/share/man/windex file
search an entry to match df.1
search an entry to match df.1b
unformatted = /usr/share/man/man1b/df.1b
formatted = /usr/share/man/cat1b/df.1b
...
The same on SPARC:
/usr/share/man: from man.cf, MANSECTS=1,1m,1c,1f,1s,1b,2,3,3c,3s, ...
mandir path = /usr/share/man
search in = /usr/share/man/windex file
search an entry to match df.1
search an entry to match df.1m
unformatted = /usr/share/man/man1m/df.1m
formatted = /usr/share/man/cat1m/df.1m
...
Again, `/usr/share/man/man.cf' exists in both cases with the same owner,
permissions, and contents.
Anybody knows why?
