Fix Recommendation

Edit run control scripts' library search "PATH" variables. Remove empty entries or entries that are not absolute paths.

Check Contents

Verify run control scripts' library search paths:

# grep -r LIBPATH /etc/rc*
/etc/rc.teboot:export LIBPATH=/../usr/lib
/etc/rc.teboot:export LIBPATH=/usr/lib

This variable is formatted as a colon-separated list of paths.

If there is an empty entry, such as a leading or trailing colon, or two consecutive colons, this is a finding.

If an entry begins with a character other than a slash (/) or other than "$PATH", it is a relative path, and this is a finding.
