Summary: conflict with binaries

I've been debating doing just that, but one of the problems is that
I'd also want to export /usr/lib/news.  The problem arises that our
news machine is a Pyramid and this box on my desk is a Sun3.  As one
might guess, I can't use the Pyramid binaries, so I can't remote-mount
/usr/lib/news.  However, it might be possible to mount /usr/lib/news
if all the binaries in the directory were made into symlinks to real
binaries in (say) /usr/lib/newsbin on each machine.  I think that
would work.  I haven't decided yet.  It's something I'd really like
to do.

Another possible conflict is that you need to tell the real news
machine (our Pyramid) enough so that it will uux a copy to the next
link up the line.  That won't happen directly without some substantial
changes.
