I've been beating my head against man pages trying to figure out how to add
%{l_prefix} to the default PATH on FreeBSD 4.8 RELEASE (I'm very new to
FreeBSD so bear with me).

I've edited the /etc/login.conf file adding %{l_prefix}/sbin and
%{l_prefix}/bin at the beginning of the default PATH, and it works for non-
root users.  I even tried copying the path part to the root declaration,
but still don't get the correct path for root invocations of ssh.

Is there some other magic in FreeBSD that's attempting to pretect me from
my own folly (the Doug Gwyn quote wasn't selected for this, but it's
certainly fitting :-).
