Bummer dude. I know I've worked on systems where there was a "man [". I
guess linux doesn't have it then. A simple hard link would do it.
Of course, you could be using a shell which is anal about metachars.
Did you get a complaint from the shell or man? (eg try:
man '['
versus man [
and see if it's different.

Reminds me of the time that I had one of those Hav-A-Hart traps. It was
the damnedest thing, I'd throw the cage into the pool and when I'd pull
it out about an hour later there'd be a cold, still, bug-eyed cat in it.
