sudo died when I ran kdemod

Lexion · 2008-03-23 00:37:12

I was installing kdemod, and I was tweaking my xinitrc file to work.
I got an error message from kdemod that it couldn't find the command
'kdeinit'. I tried startx again, and after trying to start the server it
logged out. When I logged in sudo didn't recognize ANY command. i.e.

username@host ~$ sudo ls
sudo: ls: command not found

I reinstalled sudo with a new sudoers file and changed the 'root' to my username,
but it didn't work. Any idea what's wrong?

EDIT: 'halt' didn't work either.

my halt has died on me too, but everything else is ok, or at least seems to be. I don't know how to shut down my computer!!!

Today I booted linux and I ran 'cd' which should take me to the home directory.
I would think that that means that 'HOME' isn't set right. Isn't 'HOME' set by bash
or '.bashrc'?

I just saw that /sbin has been removed from my path, one I put that back, things were back to normal, but this is certainly somewhat weird

Which path? Sorry for the n00bish question, but I couldn't find it.

Arch Linux
