A while back I was considering a change to the shell that would allow
you to specify a userlist that you trusted, and to ignore any programs
in your path that could be modified by anyone else.  This was back when
there was still a "bin" user, and such.  Anyway, to be thorough you
need to check the parents of each of the directories (all the way up to
the root) for writability, among other things.
