How about this... create say a hotmail account. Edit the crontab on the gateways. Put this in a normal user's crontab: 59 1 * * * ifconfig -a | sendmail user@hotmail.com That way, every day, the machine will send a mail to user@hotmail.com with the new ip address. Then, you just go to the hotmail account, and you can see the ip address of that box. --bhishan > > > > > What's easiest to do, is have them go to one of your fbsd boxes http > > server, and then do a tail on the access_log. > > > > If you have apache installed, it should be: > > /usr/local/apahche/logs/access_log > > I had thought about something like that (equivalent to going to a site > like http://privacy.net/analyze) which would also give them their > current IP. > > Most of our sites don't run apache though; they are plain vanilla > gateways... > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
