(sun4) Version 7.7G: kshd gets path wrong, breaking rcp

System type, version:	(sun4) Version 7.7G
System name:		dcl
What's wrong:

kshd doesn't put any kerberos stuff in the path. The default path is
.:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb. This causes rcp to fail, as it ends up running
/usr/ucb/rcp instead of /usr/athena/bin/rcp.

What should have happened:

kshd should put the local kerberos bin directory (/usr/athena/bin,
presumably) on the head of the path.

This won't be noticed with normal rcp, but is fatal to encrypted rcp.
