Hi Angus! :-)

 AM> Yeah!  When I (as non-root) run 'ifconfig' it soesn't tell me some

 AM>     ifconfig: command not found
That's because ifconfig is not in the $PATH of normal users. You'd need to give 
the full path:

    /sbin/ifconfig

That works as non-root, it will just display the interface stats. You'd get 
permission denied error if you actually tried to use ifconfig to change some 
settings, though.

Ciao
