If I'm not mistaken, bash *won't* inherit the path from rc.sysinit,
since init first runs the rc scripts, then runs the gettys that your
shell is descended from.  (In other words, your shell is not a child
process of the rc scripts.)

Bash should get its path from /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc, ~/.profile,
~/.bash_profile, and/or ~/.bashrc.  Take a look at those and see if
there are any errors.

BTW, csh (which is most likely a symlink to tcsh) gets its path from
/etc/cshrc, /etc/csh.login, ~/.login, ~/.cshrc, and/or ~/.tcshrc
(assuming csh is indeed a symlink to tcsh).
