Well that appears to be incorrect:
---------
/usr/lib/courier/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/patrick/bin

"/usr/sbin" seems to be in the "path statement" on the system ...
------------
# Path manipulation
if [ `id -u` = 0 ] && ! echo $PATH | /bin/grep -q "/sbin" ; then
PATH=/sbin:$PATH
fi
if [ `id -u` = 0 ] && ! echo $PATH | /bin/grep -q "/usr/sbin" ; then
PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH
fi
------------
... So, I'm still confused.
I log in as me (my user), then "su" (no dash) to root, when
needed, BTW.
