Then I found that even for normal users, the three sbin directories
(/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin) are in their path.
Anyone know why that is so? I don't see anything in those directories which
aren't system binaries or something used by an adminiatrator aka root user.
Thanks

The first use case that comes to mind, is people using RHEL or CentOS as their
desktop OS. They'll probably need to mount disks and create file systems (think
flash drives, maybe CDs and DVDs). The relevant commands are all in /sbin.
But then again, you'll need to be root to run mount (or to unleash the
full power of many of these commands), and root usually /does/ have them
in it's PATH anyway.
On the other hand, it doesn't do any harm if the sbins are in every
user's PATH, does it?
