It looks like dougb MFC'ed a change I made to the PATH of /etc/rc
(revision 1.300) in a mega-MFC. 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).
