Yes, but this also changes the current directory which is very annoying. 
I have

        export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

in /etc/bashrc and in /etc/profle. However, if I su to root 
/usr/local/bin is still missing in the path. If I login as root 
everything is fine. If I do su - everything is fine as well. Only "su" 
does not reasonably work for me.

Any ideas?
