Comment(by cscott):

 not a bug, this is How Things Work in redhat-land.  Add /usr/sbin to the
 olpc user's path if you want sudo olpc-update to work.

 (For the record, sudo on debian is compiled with --with-secure-
 path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin"
 which is why this works on debian-derived distros.)
