You're right. /usr/local/sbin should not be there. It was added in
revision 1.107 in 1996. The log indicates that it was added for
"things like GateD." It looks like it was added to support some broken
configuration options present in the rc-scripts at the time. It should
be removed.
For something like Samba, its rc script should contain the environment
it needs to start properly. /etc/rc cannot not be expected to properly
setup the environment for arbitrary third-party software.
