Under most Linux systems I've seen, there's a widget in /etc/profile
that *provides* /sbin and /usr/sbin for the root user, and does not do
so for non-root users. This is irritating if you use sudo to run
things as root, since programs from the sbin directories are not in
the PATH as expected.

Now, the "." and the "~/bin" directories, *those* do not belong in the
default PATH.
