you can also run these commands as a normal user by either adding /sbin and /usr/sbin to your path I do it in ~/.bash_profile by modifying the PATH= statement to look like PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:$HOME/bin or you can specify the command like /sbin/ifconfig to find a specific command try locate ifconfig for example HTH Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
