Use su - instead of plain su. With su - your environment will get
changed to root's environment, and the directories /sbin and /usr/sbin
(where your commands are located) will be in your path.
You can still use the commands by using the full path if you don't
want to change the environment, e.g. /usr/sbin/useradd...
