but i want to execute iftop as non root, just with my user...i'm using ngrep and other applications without change to root...why do i have to execute iftop with root? can i use iftop without changing to root? i have my user in /etc/sudoers...what should i do?

I've changed the PATH of my user in bash_profile to match the path of iftop, like this...but when i make sudo -s to change my user to become as super user (i have my user added into /etc/sudoers) and then i lost again the path...why is that?

try this,

su - user -c "iftop"
