Yup.  In BSD/OS, there's a couple of security features.  'csh' will
*ALWAYS* print a warning if either .cshrc or .login tries to change root's
path.  The path is set by 'login.conf', and normally, you migrate to root's
class (root is class daemon) when you su.

MHO, the behavior is sufficiently useful that the documentation should reflect
it - but I think the path we give root by "default" should include the sbins.
