(Sorry about that last one)
Thanks, Mark... I tried this in my copy of RedHat 9, and I don't get anything with "HWaddr" in /sbin/ifconfig. When I looked at Mark Waddingham's approach of doing "cat /proc/net/arp", I didn't get anything either. The only thing I got with /sbin/ifconfig is the localhost address (127.0.0.1).
So perhaps it's not as universal as we'd think... any suggestions for getting MAC address in RedHat 9?
Stupid question - but are you sure you had an ethernet interface up and running on the Redhat9 box when you tried this ?
Getting only localhost back is what you'd expect if there is no active ethernet interface, and the /proc/net/arp method would similarly give you nothing back.I don't have a copy of Redhat - but I know that back at version 6 it supported ifconfig as needed for this method to work.
