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?
man fstab
Look for the option "user".
