I have a question.  I'm running Redhat 9 on my laptop and Redhat 8 at work.  Why is it 
that I have to run the command ifconfig as ./ifconfig?  Other commands don't require a 
./, so why does ifconfig?  Also, on Mac OS X's Darwin I can just type ifconfig with no 
./
 
In a second related question, why is it that I need to preface executables with a ./ 
for them to run?  (e.g., MozillaFirebird, my .sh files).
 
Thanks!  You guys are great.
 
Tony
