Hi Andreas,

Do you know how su is being invoked when you get "." in PATH?
On F12, I see this:

  # /bin/su - -c 'echo "$PATH"'
  
/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/sbin:/p/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin
