Users can't see man pages, but root can.

RHEL 6 load...As 'root' user I can do a 'man <command>' and see the man pages w/out issue. As a regular user on the box, a 'man <command>' gives me 'No manual entry for <command>'. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks Lee

Do this command to check permissions:

Code:

ls -dl /{,usr{,/share{,/man{,/*}}}}

On the left will be a 10 character string with "-rwxrwxrwx" with selected letter replaced with "-" (or maybe "s" or "S" or "t"). Be sure the last 3 characters are not "---".
