Do you notice any difference between what I told you to do and
what you actually did?

What I told you:

/sbin/ipchains -L -v

What you did:

cd /sbin
ipchains -L -v

You did su but not su - so the way you did it won't work (because you
kept your own environment rather than getting the root environment),
so you have to use the full path to the command.

There is a third way:

cd /sbin
./ipchains -L -v

However, using the full path to the command is recommended.
