try netstat -ie
should give the same info as ifconfig, but runs as a regular user I beleive.

You can use ifconfig, which by default is world executable I believe. It's in /sbin though, so you'll either have to add /sbin to your users path, or type /sbin/ifconfig to run it each time.

Hope this helps,

Thanks! It worked. ifconfig by default is not there in the path for users. Its only there for the root. But, ya! /sbin/ifconfig works.
