            Bug ID: 213742
           Summary: /etc/crontab $PATH modification
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ben.rubson@gmail.com

Hello,

crontab(5) :
Several environment variables are set up automatically by the cron(8) daemo=
n.=20
SHELL is set to /bin/sh, PATH is set to
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin,
and LOGNAME and HOME are set from the /etc/passwd line of the crontab's own=
er.

/etc/crontab :
PATH=3D/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

I then think that /etc/crontab should set :
PATH=3D/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin

(I also think that /etc is no more needed in $PATH since this commit :
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/77f8fc2dc8a4b898c69e145ecb5c0e72a=
ab05968)

It would be more coherent, and also more convenient, without being more ris=
ky.

Thank you very much !

Ben
