I haven't tried but I doubt it... my understanding is the lisp code I pasted only adds the paths you have locally to the paths it searches remotely. Unless you're searching similar profile paths remotely, it might not find them. I'm also not sure it will find the right paths if your username is different on the remote host, and some of the binaries it's looking for are in your user's profile there?
