    it also finds "init", so it is there after all, but not discovered because   
   sbin is not in the search path.   
   I never really understood why it's not in the path; it contains lots of   
   useful stuff.   
   I suppose I could include it in the path.   
   Is it a security measure I haven't thought of?
