to expand a little more on william post.
  
  if you su this will get you into root but with the previous profile.  (meaning the regular users profile) if you use su - this will pull in  root profile and you will get the  correct path set up and will be  able to type ifconfig..
  
  i have had a lot of people get tricked up with the su and su - and they could not figure out why.
