How did the new user, new home not have the dot file? (I'd like to fix that versus code change at first.) Even without the dot files, also login should set the default path (to _PATH_DEFPATH which has the /usr/pkg/bin/ the article author needed) and sshd sets it too (to _PATH_STDPATH which also has it). I wonder why the default path wasn't seen?
