Actually, if they'd fix the .profile so that the PATH statement
is
        PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin

you wouldn't see that silly little message.  PATH is the *first* thing
to get fixed when I install a system, with the rc files being next...

It should be fixed in root's .profile (/.profile, /root/.profile (linked,
thankfully)) as well as in the .cshrc (also linked).
