Hello:
In a Fedora 8, and also in a Centos 5.1, when I open a terminal and I
login as root, I type ifconfig, but the command is not detected.
However, when I go to a tty, Cntrl + Alt + F1, for example, and I
login as root, ifconfig is recongnized.
How can I fix it?
The ifconfig command is in /sbin, which is not on a normal users PATH.
so, you can do one of 2 things:
* type /sbin/ifconfig
or
*change your path to include /sbin (and if you are going to do that, you
may as well add /usr/sbin as well)
in /home/YOURUSER/.bash_profile:
(at the bottom, ideally)
export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin
and then logout and login again
(Sorry for my english, I'm spanish)
not a problem. My Spanish is lousy. :)

In a simpler way, you can type su - instead of su in a terminal.
This gives you also the root environment variables (including PATH).
