Problems In FC4 W/ Having to Type ./Iptables instead of Iptables

Hi,

I have been using Linux/UNIX/BSD for the longest time. But this is a recent problem of mine using FC4. Say I want to configure something in with iptables. To use it I have to cd to /sbin and then type ./iptables. All the files are in the correct directories and it should work anywhere by just typing in iptables. Can anyone help me out with this problem? And no; I have no GUI installed

When you su to root make sure you type

Code:

su -

The '-' is important as that is what gets you root's environment which includes the /sbin path.

ah thanks, never had to do that before. Especially in the BSDs; they would just work.

thanks
