Hello Andrew, I have no idea, if there's a sudo-config for the PATH-env ... so I'd like to write my own one: [root@hornet ~]# cat /bin/mysudo #!/bin/bash OPATH=$PATH # save the original PATH PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH # append some for root sudo $* # execute the command(line) PATH=$OPATH # and restore the old PATH To activate this, just set an alias in the ~.profile(s) or /etc/profile, like: alias sudo=/bin/mysudo Hope it helps... cu, Joe >>>>> AMeadows@xxxxxxx 04/12/06 1:45 pm >>> >> I am attempting to configure sudo on a RH AS v3 r4 server.
