Perhaps I should've expressed it better :-)

I've found all sorts of obscure commands (such as "security" and the 
aforementioned "mdutil") mentioned on this list; now, how am I supposed to 
know that they existed in the first place?  I cannot find any sign of an 
admin guide, and this 2nd-hand MacPro did not come with media.

It seems that I have to look at all the manfiles and wonder what they 
do...

Sure, but my query was more of a general nature.
