[Jan Matejek <jan.matejek@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi,

i have been bitten by this too many times to count already. After
setting reasonable permissions for group wheel in sudoers file, i get this:

matejcik@ws-pool1:~> yast2
Absolute path to 'yast2' is '/sbin/yast2', so running it may require
superuser privileges (eg. root).
matejcik@ws-pool1:~> sudo yast2
sudo: yast2: command not found

the question: how the <cobe> do i convince sudo that it should, in fact,
use root's path?

alternately, how do i add 'sbin' to user path permanently (systemwide)
and make sudo remember it?

optional third question: shouldn't the first proposed behavior (having
sudo use root's paths) be the default? if not, why?

thanks for any hints.
m.
