All include usr/sbin and sbin. Problem with ping is that that utility |
| 10 |
is not installed in prefix on OSX (it's in network_cmds, AAPL licenced) |
| 11 |
as it doesn't make sense anyway, since that tool needs to be executed by |
| 12 |
root (or setuid root) which you can't achieve as unprivileged user. |

What you miss (and what you might want to add yourself) is /usr/sbin and |
| 15 |
/sbin in your PATH. They are the non-prefixed, host OS ones, where the |
| 16 |
original root-owned, setuid files live. |
