Before I had Suse installed and used commands like iwconfig, ifconfig, dhcpcd, ifup, and ifdown. I installed FC3 this last weekend and when I use the terminal, it says those commands can't be found?? I even su into the terminal and try to use them, but still can't find them.....Does Fedora use different commands or do I have to install those commands?? If Fedora does use different commands, could someone help me out please?? Thanks....

They're probably there, but you're not seeing them because Redhat and Fedora have this ultra secure way to keep users from running them [read: stupid way to irritate a experienced user] ... Basically, all the commands that you need on a regular admin basis are in /sbin and /usr/sbin. Those two paths are not in ${PATH} by default unless your login is started as UID0 (meaning, only for root).

The solution is either a) edit /etc/profile and put all the paths a normal box would have in PATH (or edit ~/.profile, if it's a multiuser system and you actually like this feature), or b) when changing up to root, use su - to have su get you a login shell for root.

HTH

Those are all valid commands that are located in the /sbin directory. So when switching to root, either

type: su -

-or-

add /sbin to the PATH variable in your ~/.bash_profile

Thanks for the quick reply....I'll have to add that my PATH...THANKS
