postconf: command not found (Fedora Core 5 setup)

[Xenobi]

I didn't get far from mySQL nightmare and I'm stuck again. :D

Postfix and dovecot seemed to install just fine but the next step to configure smtp just says.

bash: postconf: command not found

Did you change to root via su or did you directly login via root?
If you did su, try su - otherwise you profile won't be loaded and pathes maybe set wrong.

did you try a
which postconf

and if that does not help
find / -name postconf

That did it! Thanks much

I used su, su - did the trick

[Ben]

I ran in that *** problem some time, because after denying root login directly via ssh I added another user an "su"ed but stuff like service did not work.... so I came to that.

To solve that you can make sth like

alias su='su -'

in /root/.bash_rc
