sh(1) and ksh(1) default PATH
A problem many new NetBSD users encounter is that a default shell
without an initialized home directory containing a ~/.profile
does not include some system PATH entries that would otherwise be
provided from /etc/skel/.profile.
This came up during the recent El Reg "review" of NetBSD 9.3.
This patch synchronizes the defaults for sh(1) and ksh(1)
with /etc/skel/.profile.
