It depends on what shell you are using (bash, tcsh, zsh, etc). I will assume
you are using bash.
You need to set your PATH variable in either your .bashrc or .bash_profile. One
of these is called depending on the type of login. To get the same settings
depending on whether it is an interactive login or not, I set all my variables
in .bashrc and have "source .bashrc" in my .bash_profile file.
ie. put "export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin" or "export
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:$PATH" in your .bashrc file
and put "source .bashrc" in your .bash_profile file.
