Thanks Don,

when I went looking for them last night they definitely weren't on
the machine.  And then I couldn't find them as specific packages
in a search of my cd's. Strangely I did find that ifconfig had been in /sbin at
one point.  Not at all sure how they got deleted.  
Possibly I deleted them in some manic fit of cleaning.  
But I will reinstall netbase and see if that corrects the problem.
Did find that Sunsite has them but only for redhat and mandrake.
