On the path issue:
I can't help feeling that those system directories are not in the
default user search path for a reason. The frustrating thing is that I
can't point to anything concrete that is bad about it, just random
classes of bad things that could happen, and the fact that all of this
stuff is being added just for the sake of ping as I understand it.
(A corresponding change in the Irix path should also be made, given
that as a purpose.)
I would find it much preferable (and had forgotten about this idea
until Alexis pointed it out a few hours ago) to simply add a symlink
for ping into /usr/athena/bin if we think it's that important.

would be pretty traumatic)
