This is not true. This is output from a clean Slackware 3.6:
bash# echo $PATH
/usr/local/qt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin: \
/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/andrew/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/games:.
A quick look through the init scripts reveals no distinguish whether they
run as root, other privileged uid, or something.

This is not true as well. If it was only present in zipslack noone would
care. I personally wouldn't run a secure server on zipslack/umsdos.
