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.)
