A user doesn't have /sbin in their path by default on most machines, so typing just a straight "ifconfig" at the prompt usually doens't get anyone where. There's a lesson for ya. Always try the full path to something before you convince yourself you don't have access/can't see the file. Regards, Marc-Adrian Napoli Connect Infobahn Australia +61 2 92811750
