Indeed. I knew this, but had significantly altered the PATH and was, I suppose, upset that I had to reboot the machine for the services to notice. It would be silly to give this (long) new system PATH to inetd, sshd & crond independently, as I would now have to alter the PATH in 4 places in order to keep them all in sync. As you and others have said, it's a Windows thing, so I'll just go and live with it.
