In /etc/profile.d/local.sh I'd like to modify the PATH env variable to include /sbin /usr/sbin and /usr/local/sbin but only if the user has sudo access.
I can use sudo -l but that prompts for the user password unless the user is configured for NOPASSWD in sudo. Is there a reasonably convenient way to do this? I suppose I could just always included those directories at the end of the PATH... then if users try a restricted command they'll get "requires root" instead of "command not found". What do other people do? Ideally this should work via ssh as well i.e. from one machine to another I often do something like ssh -t <machine> sudo sysctl -a Which fails unless the path is set correctly on the remote machine... otherwise I have to specify the full path for sudo and sysctl.
