Problem is that seasoned shell kiddies don't know about make-it-work command, 
just because they're kiddies.

Better option is change the default behavior of c-n-f handler. On a first run 
it could print a hint how to activate it, or how to remove it:

$ cmd
Command 'cmd' not found. To activate the hint type
echo "export command_not_found_handle=verbose" >> ~/.bashrc; source ~/.bashrc
or disable it by
echo "unset commad_not_found_handle" >> ~/.bashrc; source ~/.bashrc
$

I had many troubles with commands in /usr/sbin, because users responses - it 
wrote me command not found - even if I told they must use a root. So c-n-f 
handler warns if command exists and is in /sbin /usr/sbin, which solves those 
problems. At least this problem is real and exists.
