I don’t know what is wrong … I have a CentOS 5 system… and surprise… loged in as a user… I can issue system commands that like ifconfig ps aux cat /etc/passwd /proc
i also tested this on a FC7 box and this is the result:
[code:1][florin@poseidon ~]$ ifconfig
bash: ifconfig: command not found
[/code:1]
same command on webserver:
[code:1]sh-3.1$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:EA:B8:01:«»DC

i looked into .bash_profile of both users and they are the same… so what could be that for the webserver it seas ifconfig?
