That's never a reasonable solution for an enterprise distro; what happens at the next "yum update"? :-)

The reasonable solution is to live with the defaults...

If the answer is "it's hard coded; nothing you can do" then I guess I'll have to live with it. I'm hoping, though, that there's a better solution :-)

Hmmm, per 'man su' on a debian system, you can override with ENV_PATH (default /bin:/usr/bin) or (for root) ENV_SUPATH (default /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin) /etc/login.defs. Adding /usr/local/bin must be an RH-specific patch.
