comment Why does mount require root privileges?
@CrazyCasta, NFS is its own protocol; FUSE could possibly use it beneath, but it wouldn't replace the NFS protocol. Look at the wikipedia page (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace#Example_Uses) and its own page (fuse.sourceforge.net) to get better idea of how it might be used.

comment Why does mount require root privileges?
Have you tried sshfs? It'll mount a remote directory, through ssh, as yourself, without the need for root access. It just needs FUSE (Filesystem in UserSpacE) to be installed.

comment How to find old directories in local directory using find in AIX?
The -name takes a single pathname component and should not have a '/' in the argument, hence it would match nothing. You would have to use either -path or be a little smarter about which 'dir' to select.

comment List all files / binaries in current PATH
This won't handle the edge cases were a valid blank entry is the same as '.', for example :/bin or /bin::/usr/bin. Try adding s/::/:.:/;s/^:/.:/;s/:$/:./ to the sed command.

comment Read entire file into memory?
The echo command assumes that the input is 'printable' ASCII, not binary data. The ls program file contains binary data. Beyond that, the echo will likely append a trailing newline, which in itself makes it different from the actual contents.
