the book Hacking Linux Exposed

i have the book Hacking Linux Exposed. Why is it that a lot of these commands dont work in my RH8 system? Do you need a special package? Or are they outdated?

What commands are not working, you may need to install some of the apps.

traceroute should be included in the RedHat distro. Check in /usr/bin .

showmount is located in /usr/sbin on our linux (slackware) systems.

nmap, rpcinfo and similar programs are often not normally a part of the basic distro and need to be installed.

Try something like:

Code:
find / | egrep "traceroute|showmount|nmap|rpcinfo"

to see if you can find them on your system ....

Distro -- "distribution".

RH is just one of the distros available. Slackware, SuSE, Debian and Mandrake etc. are other distros available.

Go to http://www.distrowatch.com and you will find a big list of distros.
