The bsd 'which' command is a builtin command in the csh.
It does not consider those commands in the $path directories
which have no execute right to the world (e.g. mode 750, root, staff).
Since I am a member of group staff, I can execute such commands,
but 'which' cannot find them, or I am misled in case a command with
the same name exists in a directory with lower search priority.
Fortunately there is still the good-old /usr/ucb/which, which does
not try to be clever.
