On my RH 6.2 system, if I su to root, /sbin and /usr/sbin are not in the
path (if I log in as root, they are). Therefore, when typing in su, type
'su -' , 'su -l' , or 'su --login'. This reads the login file of the
user--in this case the super-user--instead of the default PATH file that
redhat made. I'm not sure why they did it either. If you find the file
where they keep the path, let me know.
Thanks,
Forrest
