Fix your path for both root and the regular user.  In the long run
things will be a easier.

Edit .bash_profile (in the home directory for both root and the normal
user) and find where the PATH is set.  Add the sbin paths:

PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin
export PATH

If there isn't anything, then just add what I put above.

Log out and back in for it to take effect.
