Instead of printing "$1 not found", whatis says "$1: Permission denied"
if $path($#path)^/$1 exists but is not executable. The obvious fix is:

}
if (!f) {
found = FALSE;
! if (errno != ENOENT)
uerror(av[i]);
else
fprint(2, "%s not found\n", av[i]);
--- 342,348 ----
}
if (!f) {
found = FALSE;
! if (errno != ENOENT && errno != EACCES)
uerror(av[i]);
else
fprint(2, "%s not found\n", av[i]);
However, I don't know the source well enough to predict what unwanted
side-effects this might cause; can anyone suggest a better solution?
