From: Ray Butterworth <rbutterworth> On watdragon for instance, root uses `searchpath type=root` and since there is /usr/mfcf/data/searchpath, it gets the old rules which don't put .admin/beans at the front, which means that it gets an old /mfcf/maintenance/hostin, which means that it ... Of course these searchpath rules aren't distributed, and neither is /mfcf/maintenance or /software/mfcf, so we would have to fix everything manually everywhere, and we would probably break everything. I don't want to have anything to do with searchpath again. It's too much trouble. Use showpath instead. If anyone cares, they can fix things and spend the next day or two fixing up the things they broke.
