ipmasq package have command for it (but installing ipmasq have side effect of setting your system as gateway machine.) Here is "/usr/sbin/ipofif" command: ---------------------------------------x8 #!/bin/sh # # ipofif Determines the IP address of the interface given on the # commandline export LC_ALL="C" export LANG="C" export LANGUAGE="C" ( /sbin/ifconfig $1 | sed -n -e'/inet addr:/s/^.*inet addr:\([0-9.]*\).*$/\1/p' ) 2>/dev/null true ---------------------------------------x8 You may do "apt-get install -d ipmasq" and peek into package with "mc" :) There are few other script you may want to use :) "sed" is much lighter than "perl" and available even when /usr is not mounted yet.
