The default setup is to include /usr/bin before /usr/local/bin in
$PATH. This means that entering "lpr -Pfoo" doesn't work for printing
on my machine, I have to say "/usr/local/bin/lpr -Pfoo".
It is obvious that I could change $PATH to mention /usr/local/bin
before /usr/bin, but is that the right solution? Surely there is a
reason for /etc/login.conf to mention /usr/bin first.
Any thoughts are very much appreciated.
