hard coded path that included /usr/local/bin, which was the main
missing bit that caused me lots of grief.
It does seem odd to me that it is essential for proper security to
have sudo restrict the PATH to just /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
yet if I login as root, the PATH is:
/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/NX/bin:/root/bin
Shouldn't proper security dictate that root's login PATH be just
as restricted as sudo's built-in PATH? :-).
