debian 10

[Hugh54321]

I just installed a fresh copy of debian 10 on my new intel nuc. I installed net-tools and wireless-tools. Then I unplugged the hdmi so i can ssh into it from my desktop.  

In ssh login I cannot run the ifconfig command (and a few other networking tools) but I can run /sbin/ifconfig

Why can't I run the ifconfig command?

Because /sbin isn't in your PATH - variable.
