Uhm, my experience has always been to simply type "su" and then the root password at the password query. I've never typed "su root". I would assume that for most systems, "su" indicates root, as it's short for "super user" which is equivalent to root as far as I know. gkrueger wrote: > Not a bug! ifconfig is a root command and is not "found" or accessible > if you are a regular user. It's supposed to be that way! Try "su > root" (no quotes), and enter root's password. You'll have better luck. -- Todd Young 7079 Dawn Ave. E.
