IMO this will cause
a problem when "yum update" or "rpm -ivh" is done by normal

rpm ensures that it is there. More specifically, it sets this for all
scriptlets (based on rpm hg sources, lib/psm.c):
static char * SCRIPT_PATH
= "PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin";
Have you actually tested and found that the problem you describe exists in
some scenarios? I do rpm/smart/yum operations from a "sudo -s" shell all the
time (no /usr/sbin in PATH there), and have not encountered any problems like
this.
Thank you for clarifying this. As I have always met with umask (permission)
problem on the directories not properly owned, I was thinking that scriptlet
path _may_ also have similar problems.
