I know the output of /sbin/ifconfig is basicly the same on all major GNU/Linux distros and OpenBSD (and probably all the other BSDs), so grepping and seding the output gives us a major chunk of deployed Unix systems. Any types of Unix that don't follow this convention can either set the IP manually or write their own scripts. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
