rehash regenerates the system's cached info about what's contained in the system PATH. Commonly needed after installing new applications from the ports tree. Example:

ph34r# cd /usr/ports/net/rsync
ph34r# make install
ph34r# rsync --version
rsync: Command not found.
ph34r# rehash
ph34r# rsync --version
rsync  version 2.6.2  protocol version 28
