It's not personal account's PATH, it's what su gives you without
a dash. That's why I have to comment #if [ "$EUID" = "0" ]; then
in every /etc/profile on every system forever and ever. I wish
it was just ~/.bashrc like you're imagining.
$ PATH=$PATH:blah
$ su
Password:
# echo $PATH | grep -l blah
(standard input)
su w/o dash inherits your PATH, so no need to tweak all the profiles
on your system.
