Are you sure the execute bits are set properly (i.e. they're not
something like mode 0744 (-rwxr--r--))?

Are you sure your linux server isn't exporting (or your SPARCstation
isn't mounting) with the -noexec flag?


Probably not applicable to the root filesystem, but are you sure the
permissions on the root of the underlying mount points match those of the
directories under which they are mounted?  Funny things happen when the
root of /dev/sd0g is mode 0755 and the mode of /usr (before mounting) is
0700.
