[Vm-dev] Finding ip address for eth0?

Quick Unix question: How do I find out what the IP address for eth0/eth1 
is? I thought NetNameResolver>>localHostAddress was supposed to return 
this but it returns consistently 127.0.0.1 which is fine from a purity 
point of view but utterly useless from any practical perspective ;-)

Is there any way of finding out the IP address for eth0 that doesn't 
involve OS process, sed, and grep?

Thanks,
