Thanks, that's an easy fix.

There are some inconsistencies though in the default paths used in
various places around the system. It seems that we have (on 7.1 at least)
/etc/rc: /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
/etc/rc.shutdown: /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin
(why no /usr/local/bin ?)
/etc/login.conf, /usr/share/skel/dot.profile, /usr/share/skel/dot.cshrc:
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:~/bin
Would it make any sense to do something like to add /usr/local/s?bin
later in the rc startup as a system default - to make automatic
boot-startup behavior more similar to manual service-starting behavior...

You could also perhaps pull that $local_startup_path into rc.shutdown
