Renew my ip address (dhclient not found)

hi,

whenever i tried to run dhclient , i got error saying command not found.  however, 'dhclient' does exist in /sbin directory,  it looks that /sbin is not in my path.
erdos@htpc-devuan:~/Documents$ $PATH
bash: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games: No such file or directory

how do i add /sbin to my PATH?

Use su - to become root?

Clearly my signature is not omnipresent enough

thanks!

i was able to run dhclient after su - ,  is 'dhclient' supposed to run in root only?
