[csw-users] vimtutor bad trap problem when /opt/csw/bin not in $PATH

When /opt/csw/bin is not in the path, vimtutor does not run. This is a problem because I am using Solaris zones in a classroom environment to teach some basic system administration (including introduction to vi) and to give students the opportunity to implement some UNIX STIG controls. There is one zone per student, and I don't want to modify the default /etc/default/login during zone creation using zonemgr (I want students to go in and do it themselves if they like). Requiring students to first edit /etc/default/login, logout, and log back in, seems to be an unnecessary hurdle.

Is it possible to modify vimtutor so that it works with the default paths.

Thanks
Manish
