Anyone can run ifconfig not just root. It is however on roots path not the
normal users. It is in /sbin. Route is also in /sbin and as a non-route
user 'route' gives me the table. I don't know if I can change it though.
To switch to root with roots environment, use 'su -'.
On RH8.0, iptraf is in /usr/bin, but is a root only command.

Subject: RedHat 8.0 help
Recently I have decided to protest the French and German Governments
position with regard to their actions at the UN. My protest consists of
switching from any further use or purchase of either SUSE or Linux-Mandrake
Linux Products. Instead I have switched to RedHat and I am for the most part
very happy and impressed with the product. I do however have a couple of
questions. So if there are any users that are running RH8.0 maybe they can
point me in the right direction so I can figure out the following.
1) when logged in with my user account I can NOT run either the 'ifconfig'
nor 'route' commands in a terminal, even if I have su'd to root. However if
I log in as root they run fine.
2) I purchased a copy of Redhat Linux Firewalls yesterday an B & N.....
excellent IMHO it mentions the 'iptraf' command yet I am unable to run or
even find it. Does anyone know if it was simply not included or ????
TIA
