Sorry for the delay; I've been off the air for a bit...

You might also try looking at the NET_RT_IFLIST command in
sysctl(2). W. Richard Stevens's "Unix Network Programming, V1, 2nd
Ed"
is an invaluable aid (if you haven't already seen it).
Stuck with the 1st Edition, and a google search didn't turn up much.
Is this the best / most compatible way to get this information? From
what I see, it's not available on Linux.
See
http://www.kohala.com, and poke around there. There are a couple
of code tarballs for various of Stevens's book, including some for the
above that are alleged to work on RH 5.x and 6.x.
I'm no expert, but can OT do that? I know that OT has an implicit
"active interface" point of view, since it only supports one such, so
I
don't know whether there's a way to get at all active interfaces.
Yes, OT is returning all the interfaces appropriately, including the
Airport / Internet Sharing address.
Thanks; I think that was the thrust of PeterS's comment as well (which
I no longer have around to check).
Regards,
Justin
