He will, that's the point actually: when su'ing to root, the current
PATH is kept! It's not resetted anymore, like in 9.0. So whenever a
user, that has "." in his patch, types "su", root will have the same
PATH (plus some more that are added from global profile).

I need the current PATH of the user typing "su" to be deleted, then
re-initialized for root via /etc/profile etc.
