Command not found if not root

[imanol]

Hello everyone.

I am trying to use some commands like ifconfig and iwconfig but I can no access them if I dont run them as root.

The point here is that instead of saying that the command needs administrator access it says me that it could not be found. I have tryed adding more directoryes to the PATH variable but I dont find all of them. I have also tryed with visudo adding complete access for my user but I was not lucky.

I think it should be something about the path of root access. Where am I supose to change that?

Thanks in advanced.

Try adding /usr/sbin to your path

Yes, it works that way but my question is more general: even if I add to PATH the path of my root user, why are some commands still not appearing? I later use sudo to run them and they work

Best way to explain it is to think of those tools as administrative ones, so they hide them away from regular users.
