commands not working
 

Why i am unable to run all commands that usually works on redhat , but not working in fedora 9?
ex: chkconfig whn i typed it shows command not there
but man chkconfig ,it works fine,
and then ifconfig, xinetd -service is not avilable, like wise do i have to do any changes in fedora to enable all commands?

Did you try running them as a regular user, or logged in as root (either through a login program, or "su -" or similar)? If you were logged in as a normal user or otherwise had non-root environment, the sbin/ directories may not have been in the $PATH variable, and thus any executables there will not be "found" when you type in their name without full path.

Try
if it still doesn't work, there's something odd going on.

The other way, if you don't have the directories in $PATH, is to simply run them with full path to the executable.

i got the answer
 

hi guys dont worry about these "command not found" caution, just set the environment variable u can access all the commands , i did my self
export PATH=$PATH:/sbin/
type it njoy the fedora;
actually the variables are set by default
here we have to set

/sbin is by default not in the path from user with a reason.
It is only in the path from root.
You need root privileges to use them,

i am using my comp with root privilages

Why would you do that?
Are you aware of the security risks?
Please don't do that, it's stupid.

actually m using VMware for linux

How is VMWare relevant?

What repo is trying to say is that running anything as the "root" or administrative user is not a good idea.

Note that running with root privileges is not the same as "running as root". For example, if you get root privileges using "su", you do not get the root environment. For that, do "su -".

thnx bro
