I was a bit taken aback to see an error about ifconfig when running wee. You may run ifconfig as a normal user. You just cannot do any changes (or damage) by running ifconfig as a normal user. It is used in EuGTK to determine whether you have an internet connection.

As a normal user, it must be called as /sbin/ifconfig rather than just ifconfig. Does Irv run his GTK test programs as root? Anyway you guys kind of missed the point of the original post. It is kind of obvious you shouldn't be editing stuff as root if they are not in /etc.
