This might be useful - it is from 'Building a Server with FreeBSD 7' by 
Bryan Hong.

Default search path for /usr/local, where local software is typically 
installed, is near the end of the path statement, after base command paths.

Edit /root/.cshrc as follows:

a) comment out the existing or default 'set path' statement by preceding 
it with a hash mark (#)

b) insert this statement: set path = (/usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin 
/usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin $HOME/bin)

hope this works
