I guess I missed the first round of this discussion - but I agree with Matthew. Having commands on the path that a user can't execute: [msolberg@localhost ~]$ iptables -nL iptables v1.4.1.1: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. Is a worse experience than having to remember to type /sbin/ifconfig because it's normally a "rootly" command. This is Linux, after all.
