I examined su(1) and learned that one solution for me is to invoke su with the '-l' argument, which creates a 'login' shell in the new env. This sets, for me, the PATH to '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin'
Which is very cool.. Thank you. --A person of great honour in Ireland (who was pleased to stoop so low as to look into my mind) used to tell me that my mind was like a conjured spirit, that would do mischief if I did not give it employment.
