From the cron log it says the command being run is:
Oct 4 14:03:00 freenas /usr/sbin/cron[9518]: (root) CMD (PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/root/bin" echo $PATH)
and the subject of the cron email is: Cron <root@freenas> PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/root/bin" echo $PATH
whereas the actual path echo'd is
/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
/etc in the PATH is new to me. I know I can workaround this but I'm curious as to what is going on.
