[adelie-devel] Re: RFC: Adding /sbin to user $PATH

Hi all, Samuel Holland (smaeul on IRC) noted that /sbin and /usr/sbin are omitted from our default $PATH and therefore things like ip(8) or lspci(1) don't work as a normal user, nor do they work under sudo. I originally felt that having the sbin directories in $PATH might be confusing to new users because there would be a significant number of utilities added to their tab complete and such. Additionally, they would not be able to run most of these binaries due to insufficient permission. However, ip(8) and lspci(1) are very commonly used by users to debug issues, and it is often requested of them to run these when they are asking for help. Therefore, I am proposing that we add "/usr/sbin:/sbin" to the end of the default Adélie $PATH. Thoughts?
