sudo and PATH

I know that in SUSE, when I use sudo it uses my PATH by default and not roots path. Is there a way to make it use root's path? or at least add something to the PATH? I've looked at /etc/sudoers but I'm not sure what to add there or if it's even possible.

The extra dash in...

sudo - -c "command"

...indicates that sudo should source root's profile. Among other things, that'll get you /sbin and the like in $PATH. You could always reference the full path of the command if you don't need everything else that comes with root's profile.
