Hi,
I am trying to run nethack wizard mode but when I do so using sudo the
path can not be found. So, if I type nethack, no problem However, I
enter sudo -s, provide the password and type 'nethack' I get this:

Command 'nethack' is available in '/usr/games/nethack'
The command could not be located because '/usr/games' is not included in
the PATH environment variable.

What can I do to run this as sudo?
thanks

The down and dirty way? Add it to the PATH. Or, use the full path
name: sudo -s <password> /usr/games/nethack

There is discussion of this problem here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/50797

and they have some recommendations for getting around the secure path
issue.
