To answer his original question...
set path=(/sbin /usr/sbin /bin /usr/bin /usr/pkg/sbin /usr/pkg/bin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin)
and perhaps
set cdpath=(/usr/src/{bin,sbin,usr.{bin,sbin},lib,libexec,share,games,gnu/{usr.bin,libexec,lib,games},sys/arch/mac68k/{,compile}} /sys /usr/pkgsrc)
[Those are both supposed to be on one line.]
I, too, use su -m most of the time. In fact, I have this bash function
in my .bashrc:
su () { history -w ; command su -m ; }
That's so if I get a "permission denied," I can "su" and then recall
the command with 'ESC k'.
I still use root's csh environment every now and then, just to keep
things interesting.
