ifconfig and ip are usually in /sbin . /sbin is not in the PATH for
normal users, so attempting to run ip or ifconfig as a normal user will
fail. /sbin is in root's PATH. Normal users can always add /sbin to
their PATH or call the commands with the full path-- /sbin/ifconfig
should always work. I almost always have
export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:$HOME/bin
in my .bashrc so I don't have to type as much for various things.
