you -are- looking in /sbin/ right?

Yes. I tried to install net-tools and found it was already installed, so I tried sbin.

Thanks, John

/sbin is not by default in a normal user's $PATH. Excerpt below: $ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.6 (Final) $ ifconfig -bash: ifconfig: command not found $ su - Password: # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr ......... .... # exit $ /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr ......... _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
