I read that using "echo $PATH", for NON-root users should resemble: /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/username/bin:



I read that using "echo $PATH", for ROOT users should resemble: /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin.



QUESTION: when I type into ~$ "echo $PATH", I get:
/home/uname/bin:/home/uname/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games



This looks like what should be the output for a root user. Is this something I should be concerned about, such as there being a "malicious executable program" in my directory giving (unauthorized remote) root access when I have not initiated root access?
