setting paths inconsistently
sshd1 sets the PATH to /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/bin,
sshd2 to /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin, bash to
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games in interactive
shells.
I would think that sshd should either set the path to "/bin:/usr/bin"
as does /bin/login or if there is some reason for it to set a
sane PATH, there should be some sort of central config where all
shells or other programs that want to set the path can get the
appropriate setting for the circumstance.
