SUMMARY: "Command not found" Message on Client - binary located on NFS

Everytime that I post to this list, it just confirms what everyone
already knows.  This list is the best.

Ok, now the solution.  There were some great suggestions, I'll use Mr.
Rene Occelli's.

Hi,

Sure it cannot works ..

On withey the systems looks for xfig which is /usr/local/bin/xfig and
could not find it because there is nothing in the local filesystem
in /usr/local/bin.
Remember that only /opt/local is shared and NOT /usr/local

Two solutions. 

1) move the entire  bin directory of /usr/local into /opt/local on
denali

2) share on denali the /usr/local directory and mount it on withney

Subject: "Command not found" Message on Client - binary located on NFS
mounted filesystem

Hello Managers:
        Three systems: denali, shasta and whitney (the customer has
thing for mountains), all SunBlade1000's running well patched Solaris
8.
 NFS share defined on denali for /opt/local, to make commonly used
binaries available to clients (shasta and whitney).  Installed xfig on
denali using packages from sunfreeware.  The packages install in
/usr/local, the binary is /usr/local/bin/xfig, there is an symlink
from
/opt/local/bin/xfig->/usr/local/bin/xfig.  While logged into denali,
no
problem, when you do a "which xfig" it points to /opt/local/bin/xfig
and
the application runs fine.  Now, log into either whitney or shasta,
/opt/local is NFS mounted, /opt/local/bin is in the PATH.  If you do a
"ls /opt/local/bin/xfig" you can see it and yet when you do a "which
xfig" or try to execute the application (even fully qualified), no joy
(command not found).  Any help is greatly appreciated.  

Thanks
Dave
