how is it handled under NetBSD - i think they should have a similar problem
(... or they have a fix for this ...) - can anybody try it at a NetBSd machine
? - is it really so hard to fix ?

but again:

	graichen@titania:~> ls -ld /usr/share/man
	drwxr-xr-x  10 bin      bin           512 Jul  8 03:31 /usr/share/man/

that means - echo /usr/bin/catman | nice -5 ... can not create the cat*
directories because it should run run su man (as itself says it) and thus can
not write into /usr/share/man
