I think it's just telling you that you need to run 'su -c /sbin/ifup' -- or probably better, 'sudo /sbin/ifup'. /sbin isn't in your path. But, you can also make it so ifup and ifdown can be executed as *non-root*, if you want. In the GUI network config tool for the interface, check "Allow all users to enable and disable the device", or, put "USERCTL=yes" in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/eth0 (or whatever the device is named). -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> Current office temperature: 78 degrees Fahrenheit.
