I set PATH in /etc/profile. I do not have any problem in the case of the general user, but PATH does not go when I become the root authority in sudo. What will you do to succeed PATH which is set by /etc/profile even if I become the root authority in sudo?

Sudo resets PATH, along with many other environment variables, for security reasons. It doesn't matter what is set in /etc/profile, unless you run The sudo manual page, under SECURITY NOTES, gives an insight about the security implications, along with the options you have to fiddle in your /etc/sudoers file to modify these restrictions, after you understand the implications of doing so. | |||

root's path is not changed by /etc/profile (security ...) you have to set it up separately, (e.g. in root's ~/.bash_profile) | ||||
