>Description:
on/about 2002-04-15, /etc/rc was updated and the PATH was changed
so that it no longer includes /usr/local/sbin.
if this is a feature, please document it.
this change will effect many scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d which ran based on the PATH set in /etc/rc
>How-To-Repeat:
look for a scipt in /usr/local/etc/rc.d which does not explicitly
specify a path, or update $PATH, reboot, and they will not found,
luckily evidenced with "dmesg -a"
>Fix:
revert the PATH in /etc/rc to the previous, which was
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin
or, add a PATH= and export PATH statements to /etc/rc.conf
