rebecca@pyrophore rebecca]$ type -all mountsmart
mountsmart is /home/rebecca/bin/mountsmart
[rebecca@pyrophore rebecca]$ ssh paradoxa

bash-2.05$ type -all type
type is a shell builtin
type is /usr/bin/type


Pyrophore is running RedHat 9; paradoxa is running Solaris 9.

Type is *not* an alias in RedHat 9 (I tried unaliasing it just to see if
that was the problem).
