How did you become root? Remember 'su' keeps the environment (including PATH) of current user, while 'su -' gets the proper environment of the root user (so /sbin and such is in PATH). I think sudo already does the right thing. su without the - is almost always the wrong thing to do. -- Len Sorensen
