-local merely stops matches in remote filesystems from
being further processed, but they are still traced as
it might be that a local filesystem is mounted somewhere
inside a remote one and/or some earlier command line
switches might still be applicable to remote files.

Try some refinement based on...

find `awk '$3=="ufs" {print $2}' /etc/mnttab` -mount .....

find / -name junk.out ! -fstype nfs -print

the ! means don't go there.

Let's see what "man find" says

-local         True if the file system type is not a  remote
               file   system   type   as   defined   in  the
               /etc/dfs/fstypes file.  nfs is  used  as  the
               default   remote   filesystem   type  if  the
               /etc/dfs/fstypes file is not present.

Many times a simple way is provided :-)

Cheers everyone.

It will still look at all nfs files.

You need to use -xdev, -local or -fstype nfs -prune -o ...

Something like
        find / ! -fstype ufs -prune
should, I believe, prune all non-ufs paths, including lofs mounts.

Casper, is this correct?

find /mnt -fstype lofs -print   (only finds directories)
find /mnt -fstype ufs -print    (finds everything other than directories)

System info:
SunOS mindwarp 5.6 Generic_105181-09 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-10

This is definitely not what I would have expected!  However, the "BUGS"
section of lofs(7fs) somewhat explains what's happening:
