    Unhappy ipconfig file missing

    I am trying to find the ip address on my Red Hat Linux box, but there is no ipconfig file in my /sbin/ directory. I did a 'locate ipconfig' in the terminal and the only files i got were plipconfig, sipconfig.py/c/o, plipconfig.8.gz, ipconfig.h


    I dont know what happened to my ipconfig file. If anybody knows where I can get a new copy of it? Or what I can do I would appreciate it.

    ifconfig

    instead of ipconfig
    0 + 1 = 1 != 2 <> 3 != 4 ...
    Until the camel can pass though the eye of the needle.

    Please do a
    Code:
    ls -la /sbin/ipconfig
    If it really not there, then someone/something with root privileges deleted it.
    Which is... un-good

    Anyway, ipconfig is part of the package net-tools.
    This should bring you back in the game:
    Code:
    yum install net-tools
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.
