For some reason, my 10.3 box is missing
section 2 of the man pages.

# ls /usr/share/man
cat1 cat5 man1 man4 man6 man8 mann
cat3 cat8 man3 man5 man7 man9 whatis.db

As you can see, most man sections
are present, except for man2.

This sucks, since man2 has unix sys calls like 'dup' etc. How do I install
just the missing man2 section ?

Apple, google, darwin, I haven't been
able to find the answer anywhere. I
don't want online man html pages, I
want man2 on my machine.

Any ideas ?

I issued the command you listed and my installation does indeed have man2. If you tell me how to do it, I would copy and send it your way.

Reinstall the BSD.pkg file from your Panther CDs. For some reason during some installations, it doesn't install a big chunk of the manpages. A reinstall of the BSD packages should fix that right up.

I tried this but it did not work :-(

SO I navigated to the bsd.pkg file, viewed package contents, unpacked archive.pax within that folder and
viewed it's contents using the 'pax'
utility. That file does not contain
man2 !!! (but does contain other man
sections). Seems to me that someone
messed up at apple, at least with the
version of panther install CD's (2Z691-4587-A)
that I bought a few weeks after panther
was released.

They're in the DevDocumentation.pkg on the XCode CD.
