run as root on some sun's, ifconfig returns the ethernet address in addition to the usual information. run by everyone else the ethernet address is omitted. arp is NOT restricted; it has permissions of 2755. arp -a provides the ethernet address of all machines in the cache. what is the point of sun's ifconfig behaviour? why should we emulate this quirk?
