I'm not sure about your ifconfig problem, but it could be that your PATH environment variable got stomped on by some program. When you logged out/in, your PATH was reloaded from /etc/profile or whatever. And to answer you question about graphical login, look in the file /etc/inittab. There should be a line in there that looks like: id:3:initdefault: change it to: id:5:initdefault: And reboot. -Erik Sam MacDonald wrote: > So I "ifconfig" and it doesn't work, I get "ifconfig: not found" > > I used su to change to super user, entered the password, same result > > When I do "man ifconfig" the manual page is there. > > Red Hat 8.0 is the OS right from the CD > > So I logout as my account > > (BTW anyone know how to force text mode start up in RH 8?) > [Not everything needs to be graphical] > > I login as root > > I open a console and "ifconfig" works fine. > > Just a bug? > > > > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org > https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
