Hello,

Does anyone have an idee how to add /sbin to the sudo $PATH environment?
Adding /sbin to .bashrc $PATH isn't really what I want...

I'd like sudoers to be able to run:
$ sudo chkconfig
And not:
$ sudo /sbin/chkconfig
Thanks
Sam

I use an alias to handle that.  I put the following line in my .bashrc file:

alias sudo='PATH=$PATH:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin 
/usr/bin/sudo'

This dynamically adds the desired directories to the path BEFORE executing sudo. The downside is that it won't work in scripts, but I usually set the path explicitly in my scripts anyway.

Hope that helps!
