Description Miroslav Lisik 2025-03-25 12:10:58 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2352387 +++

There has been bin/sbin merge since Fedora-42 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Unify_bin_and_sbin.

Openssh still sets default PATH with '/usr/sbin' path.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect to a host as a root and check the PATH
2. connect to a host as a user and check the PATH


Actual Results:  
1)
# env | grep ^PATH
PATH=/root/.local/bin:/root/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

2)
$ env | grep ^PATH
PATH=/home/testuser/.local/bin:/home/testuser/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin

Expected Results:  
PATH does not contain /usr/sbin
