[ale] PATH

[James P. Kinney III]

This will also add the */sbin paths to every user. It would be better to
add it in the roots .csh

You could add it with some logic in /etc/profile:

if [ $USER == "root" ]; then
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH
;
else PATH=....;
fi

Don't trust my syntax on this, but the logic will work.
