[ale] PATH

[David Brooks]

The root user on a Solaris machine typically doesn't have bash as it's
login shell (nor would I advise changing it from csh).

Add this line above the line that says "export LOGNAME PATH" in
/etc/profile:

PATH=/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin

Hope this helps.
