Yea, that's what I had in mind. Just curious if any programs have hard
coded paths in them; deamons usually have, but that's beyond the
scope... I guess I'll try and see... :)

Anybody know if I can create a PATH that chooses certain (local)
directories before other (nfs-mounted), e.g. by choosing a certain
order? Isn't stuff in the PATH usually sotred in a hash table? Hard to
predict then, I presume...
