I use an alias to handle that. I put the following line in my .bashrc file:
> alias sudo='PATH=$PATH:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin /usr/bin/sudo'
This dynamically adds the desired directories to the path BEFORE
executing sudo. The downside is that it won't work in scripts, but I
usually set the path explicitly in my scripts anyway.
Hope that helps!
