route and iptables are binaries, no text files. Log in as root
correctly! Either on console directly as root, or become root using su
with the proper command "su -" (see man su). Having not root login shell
but only a shell and you change directory to /sbin you have to run the
command with a leading ./ like ./route.

I am logged in as su (no one else uses this machine). When using the
prefix './' in /sbin I get the following:
