Maybe it's the 6.5 inches of snow yesterday ==> no power, no heat all
all day, all night, yet - anyway, the above is wrong.  /usr/etc (on a
client) is very definitely in what is /usr on the client and is
/usr.MC.680[12]0 on the server.  If you want to run utilities in
/usr/etc with /usr not mounted, you have to copy them out - or mount
some other server's /usr.MC<whatever> somewhere.
