The cd command is a built-in command of the shell -- there is no cd command in, say, /bin.
Even if there were, sudo cd /some/where would not make sense: sudo runs the command in a new shell with the enhanced permissions, and when that shell ends, you are returned right back to where you were before. So, either ask for a root shell: sudo -s or run a single command with sudo, and let your current directory be what it is now: sudo /var/ossec/bin/ossec-control restart Hope this helps -- Scott On Dec 22, 2012, at 6:47 AM, "dan (ddp)" <ddp...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Dec 22, 2012 7:43 AM, "finid" <fi...@linuxbsdos.com> wrote: > > > > > > Attempting to run cd /var/ossec after installing it on Linux Mint returns > > the following: > > > > bash: cd: /var/ossec: Permission denied. > > > > But sudo cd /var/ossec returns > > > > sudo: cd: Command not found > > > > Any clues? > > Try it as root, or add your user to the ossec group.
