If you use "su -", you will get root's environment, including the path; if you use "su" you keep your current environment. /sbin isn't on a normal user's path. To find where a packages files are, use "rpm -ql <packagename>". (That's a small L.) Once you know where the file is, you can run it by full path. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' The Great Writ <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' is no more. <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
