Can't you use the usual approach of 'su -' to pick up the target user's login environment?
It's "su -" that causes the 'su' comman to rewrite the PATH to the hardcoded default.
But it should be executing the target user's .profile which can override it. '-' should be a synonym for -l or --login.
You've missed the point. I want the ability to set the default path on 'su -' to be /bin:/usr/bin and then let the users override if they wish. I do not want the default path to be /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
