I don't know, but I suspect not (unless you are logged in directly as root,
which is considered bad form).

The experienced admin is supposed to always type a full path when executing
stuff as root, in order to avoid running malware that might have the same
name (e.g. a fake 'ifconfig' executable).

I think:
echo $PATH
