You can use “sudo command” to get root privilege on a single command. When you
do this, you will need the full path for commands in /sbin or /usr/sbin as these
directories are not in the path of an ordinary user. Thus
sudo /sbin/ifconfig
would have done the trick.
To check the IP address, you do not need root privilege, all that is missing is the full path of the command as /sbin is not in the normal user’s path. So
/sbin/ifconfig
would work. I normally symlink /sbin/ifconfig to $HOME/bin so that it’s in my path.
/sbin is in the normal user’s path in Ubuntu that’s why it works without the /sbin
or just “ip addr” without quotes
Thks for replies the 2 systems are different just got to learn abit
I will use the forums and learn as i did in ubuntu
