Default $PATH of rsh (Was Re: What risk is X11Forward to a server?)

First I wouldn't say that HPUX was a good example of SysV, second 
/usr/local/bin is certainly not ever placed in the PATH under Solaris
(which is an SysV derivative in some ways).

In Solaris you can change the default PATH by either updating one of
the shell init scripts or chaning PATH in /etc/default/login to do it
in a shell independant way.
