Actually, this is not true. I added it to my PATH for years since starting
on RHL-4. But at some point in using Fedora, I stopped because I gave up
on the hassle of adding a custom PATH to /etc/profile.d/ every time I
installed a new box. Additionally, I now have more shell accounts on boxes
that I only drop into once in a while when something's wrong that I've
learned to accept the constant annoyance of not having .*/sbin in my PATH.
i put 'export PATH="$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin"' in my ~/.bashrc ...
reinstall, whatever, nothing changes as long as i keep my home folder
..
(another trick of mine .. a rpm, eg: mycustomizations.rpm to save time
for certain stuff outside the home folder)
