#293: scripts/local-interfaces cannot find ifconfig

 I find the following error in `debug.log`:
 {{{
 28 Oct 01:25:01 [local]     /usr/local/share/broctl/scripts/local-
 interfaces
 28 Oct 01:25:01 [local]    exit code 0
 28 Oct 01:25:01 Local IPs: /usr/local/share/broctl/scripts/local-
 interfaces: line 9: ifconfig: command not found
 28 Oct 01:25:01 [local]    sh
 }}}

 If the log entries reflect serial execution, this is a little weird
 because `local-interfaces` first terminates cleanly with exit code 0 but
 then cannot find `ifconfig`. Since `local-interfaces` merely invokes
 `ifconfig` from bash, I wonder how this can happen.

 The system I am working with is a vanilla CentOs 5.5 Linux where
 `ifconfig` is located in `/sbin`.
