I sugest you use a script with a setuid to root. so that your father ca=
n run
it, but it will be ran is if the root started it. You can even automati=
cly
send a mail with your ip with this script. You'll be able to get the ip=
from
the output of ifconfig...
please keep in touch if you need more infos...
