> well, you can make it explicit.. path=(/bin)

Which really should be the default, or at least path=(/bin .).

Putting '.' at the front means that wherever you're cd'ed into a
remote directory, every command you run is 9Peeing off to the remote
host looking for a command that's most likely not going to be there.
When your RTTs get into the 100ms+ range, things quickly get very
painful.

Fixing path= in /rc/lib/rcmain will make your life a lot happier if you
work with a lot of remote 9P mounts.
