Lately I find myself doing things like 
%ls -ld /usr/prog

and after finding that this is linked to /n/node1/bin, I'd do

%ls -ld /n/node1/bin

and so on...
until I get to my destination directory/file. Is there some way to
do this easily, may be a program that prints all the intermediate directories
that are used in getting to a file, across nfs mounts and symbolic links.

Thanks.
