Run visudo (as root) and see whether your PATH is set to a sane value. I
have:
Defaults env_reset
Defaults secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
J.
Just the default env_reset was in my sudoers file; secure_path hadn't been set. I added secure_path and all appears to be well. I don't remember env_reset being in my sudoers file initially, but I can't be sure.
