Very small caveat: On some systems, running ifconfig doesn't require privileges, but it's not in the unprivileged user's default path (it's in root's path though). I've seen this on Debian Linux, for instance. So you may need to explicitly call /sbin/ifconfig or whereever it's stored. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
