Re: finding IP address of ethernet card



The trick (as you showed, but didn't point out) is
that you must either have /sbin in you path (which
root does) or specifiy it when you try to run
ifconfig.

Mere mortals must run ifconfig as such:
/sbin/ifconfig

Root can just type ifconfig, because /sbin is in his
path.  Or course mere mortals can't bring up the net
or  shut it down with ifconfig......(least I hope
not).
