Re: finding IP address of ethernet card

Even a normal user can run ifconfig; the normal user just can't change
anything with ifconfig.

Run this as a normal user:

'/sbin/ifconfig eth0'

You'll get something like this:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:11:22:33:44:55
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:147.134.27.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:14255398 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:6075619 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:2
          collisions:1617618 txqueuelen:100
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0xb400
