I installed ascii onto a new machine with ascii-netinstall iso and immediately

I notice when I login to root with “su” the $PATH doesn’t contain any sbin 
folders, only bin. If I login to root with “su -“ then the $PATH is as expected.

I don’t notice this happening on any ascii installs. Is there something new in 
beowulf/buster default configuration?

Yes. Buster like Ubuntu 18.04 is following Red Hats lead, no more su to root. It has been discussed in debian user list. I searched for fix and found to edit /etc/profile on effected systems. For Beowulf & Ceres installs I add and set apt preference for ASCII/Testing to avoid the problem before I upgrade.
