Check Text ( C-36315r5_chk )
Verify that all manual page files do not have extended ACLs.
# find `env | grep MANPATH | cut -f 2,2 -d "=" | tr ':' ' ' ` -type f -exec ls -al '{}' | grep '^[a-zA-Z\-]\{10\}+'

If the permissions include a "+" the file has an extended ACL, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-31570r2_fix)
Remove the optional ACL from the file(s).
# chacl -z /usr/share/man/* /usr/share/info/* /usr/share/infopage/*
