	RBAC related:
	Since I'm using the /usr/xpg4/bin path as the primary one, I was
	little bit confused, that, event thought I have the "Object
	Access Management" profile applied on my account, I'm not able
	to use pfexec chown(1) command. Well, the reason is exactly the
	PATH issue, where only the /usr/bin/chown command is part of the
	authorized commands' set for the given profile.
