Hi,
If you use
su
only, you assume root privileges without the root environment.
Rather do
su -
which gives you the full root environment, including path.
The same holds for other users, i..e
su - joe
switches the user to the user joe with full environment.
Thanks a million for that! Going to save me a ton of time from issuing
whereis command to find commands when I need to follow instructions off a
website!
Plus we have a Wiki page that explains in some detail here:

It's a common mistake/misunderstanding most people make to start with :)
