And that's OK. To quote the log message for the change, date: 2002/03/16 20:01:25; author: cjc; state: Exp; lines: +2 -2 Only put standard FreeBSD directories in the PATH. If the administrator wishes to run commands outside of the PATH, he should use a full pathname for the executable or set the PATH as appropriate in any local startup scripts. PR: misc/35770 All the change amounted to was removing /usr/local/sbin from the PATH (it had been added as a kludge in ancient times). -- Crist J.
