I too had quite a few Sun machines running SUNOS 4.0 at my last job. I
quickly discovered that the executables were in /usr/* and was not amused.
What I did was to move a few "key" files like dump and restore to name a
few to /etc.  Then all I had to do to the restores when needed was to
change my environment in /.profile.

Works like a hose!!
