I just installed a 2.2.2-R on a new machine and encountered the same
problem. You may also be getting a message from login that "imported
path has relative components" (or some such -- I'm at home & not near
the 2.2.2 machine).
I was able to fix both problems by creating the file "/etc/login.conf"
(I *think* it's that but might be /etc/login.config -- again, not near
machine which isn't on the net yet -- look at the login man page for
referenced files, then look at the man page for login.conf (5) ). There
are a huge number of possible options, but the following two lines fixed
things:
root:path=/bin /usr/bin
default:path=/bin /usr/bin
The "default" entry is probably enough.
Hope this helps.
Steve.
