<P>You can configure the pathname of the command used by <I>KDE network
utilities </I> if you don't want the command found in the
<CODE>PATH</CODE> variable to be used or if the command in not found the
the <CODE>PATH</CODE>. This can be done in the Edit -&gt;
Preferences... menu. The GNU/Debian users will put the traceroute's
command to <CODE>/usr/sbin/traceroute</CODE> as normal users don't have
this directory in their path.
<P>The same dialog box allows you to specify arguments to the program.
For example, on Sun Solaris computers, you can add <CODE>-s</CODE> as
argument for the ping command.
<P>For the host resolution tab, you will have to choose the type of the
underlying command used, <CODE>host</CODE> or <CODE>nslookup</CODE>.
<P>You can disable a command by editing the configuration file (by hand) and in
the corresponding group, just modify to read <CODE>enable = 0</CODE>.
