I don't think so. I didn't notice this, since my path is reset in my
".cshrc". But a user with bash as default shell had problems. You
can always set the path in "/etc/profile" or similar places for
logins. But for "ssh command" where there is no login shell, you
have to depend on the default. What's so difficult about
recompiling?
