This question was raised because a user on one of our CentOS 6 systems had a
problem:

I got a question from a user today, as to why a particular command didn't
work.  When I looked into it, I realized that he shouldn't have been able to
run it at all because the command was in /sbin.

Then I found that even for normal users, the three sbin directories
(/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin) are in their path.

They have been there in most UNIXes and Linux distros. I'd ask the other opposite question: Why have some Linux distros not been including /sbin and /usr/sbin?
