Ah, helpful replies guys, thx. On most distros it's the ordinary user's PATH that's more restricted than root's. dsl has a non-login root shell, but it's still root.
I noticed this because /opt/bin isn't in PATH when I open a root shell from the right-click menu (I only rarely type su - on dsl) and it might be useful if binaries linked into /opt/bin could be found from any type of root shell, just like binaries in /bin whatever, hence found by other apps running as root that look in PATH.
Root should be able to find anything in PATH that user dsl can, yes?
