Linuxconf and netconf command not working
 

i recently loaded linu7.0, noe netconf and linuxconf commands are not working..it is saying that command not found..please help me.

have you tried doing a full path of where they are located? don't know where they are, try doing a search for them?

Are you logged in as root? By default, linuxconf is executable only by root.

Dear Friends,
I am very much logged in as user,and hope my installation is also complete.i selected the custom option while installing..any way i will try reinstalling it.

Try netcfg instead of netconf.

login as root

then supply your root password

Oh yeah, Linuxconf has a captial L too... it won't work if you are trying linuxconf at the command....

See it has nothing to do with things like "L" of thing as suggested by tricky kid...i know it works fine even with small l....please be serious.

So is netcfg working now?

Maybe linuxconf is not installed.

try

locate linuxconf

or look in /sbin

[vnc@beta /vnc]$ ls /sbin/linuxconf
/sbin/linuxconf


Here is what happens if you are not root

[vnc@beta vnc]$ linuxconf
bash: linuxconf: command not found
[vnc@beta vnc]$ /sbin/linuxconf
bash: /sbin/linuxconf: Permission denied

This is what TrickyKid means.
He was serious.


[vnc@beta /vnc]$ /sbin/Linuxconf
bash: Linuxconf: command not found

:Pengy: :Pengy:

You can also check with rpm -q linuxconf

supraj,

so you logged in as regular user eh... you never have stated if it works when logged in as root, or you never have said if you tried to locate it and if its even installed. How are we suppose to help you if you don't try what were telling you to do?
I never use Linuxconf so I got confused on whether it worked with a lowercase or uppercase cause I see it in my start menu's with a uppercase L.

So what is the deal supraj, you don't seem to be listening to us in helping you? You haven't answered any of the suggestions we have given besides my mistake.

See since the matter was urgent i went ahead with a re-installation,and now it is working fine ..... think the guy who loaded it earlier had done some mistake..any way thanx a lot for everybodies help and suggestion...hope trickykid is not cross with me..cheer up fellas !!!

linuxconf not installed by default
 

I had the same problem, newbie that I am. Turns out that

1. you must be logged on as root and
2. linuxconf is not installed by default in Red Hat Linux. In Red Hat 7.1 it is located on CD 2.
