I know this bug is from 2001, but it's still an issue.
I am a big fan of putting software in /opt/foo and have adapted
my PATH variables to reference it, but cannot access it,
even though all of sudo would suggest it does:
i.ga...@panic ~ % sudo sudo -V
[snip]
Environment variables to preserve:
XAUTHORIZATION
XAUTHORITY
TZ
PS2
PS1
PATH
MAIL
LS_COLORS
KRB5CCNAME
HOSTNAME
HOME
DISPLAY
COLORS
[/snip]
i.ga...@panic ~ % echo 'echo $PATH' | sudo zsh
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bw/bin:/opt/bw/sbin
i.ga...@panic ~ %
Of course this is caused by the --secure-path configure option, which
hard-resets the path, before actually searching for the binary to execute.
My suggestion is to follow Fedora's example here and drop the option
all-together, and instead configure a sane/secure path in /etc/sudoers:

So long,
