Finding ip address in Linux

Hello, I's sure this will seem silly, but how do you find you ip address in redhat linux 7.2? I know the command is called ifconfig but I don't know how to use it, despite having typed man ifconfig.

you should be able to type 'ifconfig' or 'ifconfig -a' (all) and it will list the adapters and the ip's bound to them.

To use ifconfig either:
1) Login as root, then issue:
ifconfig
2) Or as another user issue:
/sbin/ifconfig

for one, RH7.2 with kernel 2.4.7-10 uses different method to execute commands.
Try thie method.
*YOu don't need to login as root
cd /sbin ./ifconfig
or
cd /sbin ./ifconfig -a

Heres a tricky one! How do you get just the current IP address (DHCP Client) and only the ip address, none of the other stuff that comes with IFCONFIG.
What if you need to get it for scripts? IE. /sbin/ipchains -A input -d $MYDHCPIP -j DENY

Steve thanks for that syntax, it's almost exactly what I was looking for to display the current IP to the user during login. On my RedHat 7.1 system though it displays both the local IP and the localhost IP addresses.
Here's a modification I made which just looks at the first 'net card on the box (eth0).
/sbin/ifconfig -a eth0| grep addr: | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/addr\://'
This works great from my .profile, thanks again. :)
