It will seem pretty obvious for some of you, but I didn't understand why, in some systems, some installed programs didn't appear when being an ordinary user but they appear when switching to root (or use sudo). Well, the answer is a different PATH for root (defined in /etc/profile) that includes directories like 'sbin'.

The most confusing part is: 'sudo echo $PATH' will display PATH for the ordinary user (not root) but 'sudo' allows you to run programs that are only in the root PATH.
