Hi everybody,

Got a problem with my Red Hat 9. In fact, i can't use any network command, for example ifconfig, route, tracert...
I think the problem is i don't have those commands in /bin.
The message i receive is :
bash: ifconfig: command not found

What can I do ?

Thanks for your help,

Mae

I found the commands in /sbin, i can access them from this directory, but i can't from the others. I changed my .bash_profile, i add $HOME/sbin, but it doesn't change anything...

Log in as "root". Use su --login or su -l or even su - to do it. Don't forget the dash.

Logging in as "root" will give you root's search PATH which includes /sbin and /usr/sbin.
