>Description:
/usr/bin/{znew,zmore,zgrep,zforce,zdiff,zcmp} all prepend
/usr/local/bin to the user's path, under the assumption that
they and gzip (with which they are distributed outside NetBSD)
will be installed there. Of course, that's not the case under
NetBSD, where all the required binaries should be expected to
be found in the main system directories.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read the scripts.
>Fix:
Delete the path augmentation.
