What so wrong with "user tools in */bin and sysadmin tools in */sbin". As an advanced user, I always put /sbin and /usr/sbin in my PATH, whatever the unix I'm on. People who know about ifconfig should know enough to add /sbin and /usr/sbin to their PATH IMO. Adrian email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Windows NT - Unix in beta-testing.
