not able to run ifconfig

Unable to run the ifconfig in my home dir..

I did add adding /sbin and /usr/sbin in th PATH
But still unable to get that ..

Am using red hat linux

cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)

locate the ifconfig command (should be in /sbin )
do you have full access (are you root ) ?

find / -type f -name "ifconfig"

and add the found path into yours

i have set /sbin
but still not working ..
i i got into /sbin and run it will work.

when i saw echo $PATH
i can see /sbin
its working for my login
but not for pseudo login

Please post:

echo "${PATH}"

Afterthought
You did type "ifconfig" not "./ifconfig" ?
