But this is an exception, not the common case. 

BTW, we use different PATH definitions:

/usr/share/skel/dot.login
set path = (/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin $HOME/bin)

/usr/share/skel/dot.profile
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin


I prefer /bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/games:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:$HOME/bin
