Hi, I faced similar issue I was trying to use usermod command to add my user to sudo group and I was getting error message that the usermod command was not found. I checked the PATH env variable and it looks it is the same as for standard users root@kali-openbox:/home/kowalczy# echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
in /etc/profile I found if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" else PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games" fi my root user id is 0 . IMHO the if statement should be fixed to *if [ `id -u` -eq 0 ]; then* Pozdrawiam serdecznie Jacek Kowalczyk http://www.linkedin.com/pub/4/64/480 http://www.goldenline.pl/jacek-kowalczyk6 http://jacekkowalczyk.wordpress.com/ http://fotografia-pierwszekroki.blogspot.com/
