No manual entry for man

error message when trying to get standard man pages: No manual entry for XXXX

I figured out why the normal man pages don't work on some systems.  The file /etc/MANPATH overrides the MANPATH variable when /etc/profile runs.  So to fix it just add the "normal" man page locations to /etc/MANPATH:

/usr/share/man:/usr/contrib/man:/usr/local/man:

resizing terminal and fixing

eval $(ttytype -s)
or
eval $(resize)    -- xterms

HP 9000 servers model numbers

Good reference to use between the 'model' command and the 'standard' name for the server model:
