Well it won't complain about it :-) However, it only tests for one app
at a time. That is, if 'sshd' is found then it is tested. It doesn't
then look for further occurances of sshd.

The test works by looking for the app (e.g. 'sshd') in the root PATH. It
then tests that app. So if you have sshd installed in /sbin
and /usr/local/sbin, but your PATH is '/sbin:/usr/local/sbin' then
only /sbin/sshd is checked. The /usr/local/sbin/sshd file is ignored.
