[clug] finding things on the path

[Kim Holburn]

# which -a '*ping*'
# sh globpath '*ping*'
ls: /usr/local/sbin/*ping*: No such file or directory
ls: /usr/local/bin/*ping*: No such file or directory
ls: /usr/bin/*ping*: No such file or directory
ls: /sbin/*ping*: No such file or directory
ls: /usr/bin/X11/*ping*: No such file or directory
/bin/ping   /usr/sbin/arping   /usr/sbin/hping
/bin/ping6  /usr/sbin/dhcping  /usr/sbin/hping2
#

which -a doesn't seem to do anything.
