Well, a script with this PATH will find most of the AFS programs, even
if /usr/afsws doesn't exist (/usr/bin is in the path).  Granted, it
wont find stuff in /usr/sbin.

Fair enough.

If they only expect to get to applications via the PATH, then I
suspect it is reasonable to assume that /usr/bin is in the path.  I
admit that it may not be quite as reasonable to expect /usr/sbin in
the path.

Good point.
