6. Configuration

You can configure the pathname of the command used by KDE network utilities if you don't want the command found in the PATH variable to be used or if the command in not found the the PATH. This can be done in the Edit -> Preferences... menu. The GNU/Debian users will put the traceroute's command to /usr/sbin/traceroute as normal users don't have this directory in their path.

The same dialog box allows you to specify arguments to the program. For example, on Sun Solaris computers, you can add -s as argument for the ping command.

For the host resolution tab, you will have to choose the type of the underlying command used, host or nslookup.

You can disable a command by editing the configuration file (by hand) and in the corresponding group, just modify to read enable = 0.
