When I log on to some of our BSD unix machines (Alliant, Multiflow,
DEC 3100), I notice that the PATH variable has some initial members,
usually something like (/usr/ucb /usr/bin /bin .).  Can anyone
let me know where these initial elements of PATH come from?
Is this at all configurable?  Thanks to any and all who reply.
