Hi,
/etc/profile is the system wide profile for sh shell. So, should you
need to do this for all sh scripts ( including /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
scripts), simply add a PATH line to /etc/profile, eg:
PATH=/foo/bar:/bar/baz:$PATH; export PATH
or
PATH=$PATH:/foo/bar:/bar/baz; export PATH
depending on whether you want your additional directories to be searched
before or after the default path.

Jase.
Thanks, that's an easy fix.

There are some inconsistencies though in the default paths used in
various places around the system. It seems that we have (on 7.1 at least)
/etc/rc: /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
/etc/rc.shutdown: /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin
(why no /usr/local/bin ?)
/etc/login.conf, /usr/share/skel/dot.profile, /usr/share/skel/dot.cshrc:
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:~/bin
Would it make any sense to do something like to add /usr/local/s?bin
later in the rc startup as a system default - to make automatic
boot-startup behavior more similar to manual service-starting behavior...

You could also perhaps pull that $local_startup_path into rc.shutdown
