When you do "sudo echo $PATH" $PATH is expanded before the sudo command is executed since it is an argument to the sudo command. To demonstrate what Tom is saying you need to prevent $PATH from being expanded by using sudo sh -c 'echo $PATH' As in... [egreshko@f12 ~]$ sudo sh -c 'echo $PATH' /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin -- The FALAFEL SANDWICH lands on my HEAD and I become a VEGETARIAN... is a barbecued OYSTER!
