I don't have access to a CentOS4.1 distro of Linux (never even heard of it), but are you sure that "ifconfig -a" requires root? It certainly works for me on RedHat. I had to use /sbin/ifconfig -a since /sbin is not on my PATH.
There are many different versions of netstat and with HP-UX or Solaris, "netstat -in" would have solved your problem. With RedHat, the ip address is not displayed. (Also, while HP-UX has a ifconfig, there is no "ifconfig -a".) The first unix system I used had no netstat command. I don't know of any modern unix without a netstat command, but they do not conform to that link you posted. "netstat -D"? Let me try that on HP-UX....
FYI CentOS is Redhat Enterprise re-compiled from source RPMs with all the trademark stuff removed. It's good to play around with RHES for free before you need all the production-grade support etc.
Not sure why you are typing netstat -D. What would that normally do? netstat -n would work, that displays IP addresses instead of names. To get the same effect as netstat -t I guess you would use netstat -p <protocol>, on Redhat Linux -t restricts the protocol to TCP.
You're right, ifconfig -a does work as non-root however on Redhat the /sbin directory where it lives is not in a normal user's search path. Anyway, thanks for pointing that out to me as it is probably a safer command to work with.
Yes, arp is available on Redhat but is also in /sbin.
/sbin/arp -i eth0 -a
Seems to produce meaningful output.
