Is there a simple way to find the external interface and bind a

What seems to be the standard ubuntu configuration lists the local
hostname with 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts. (I checked this on two ubuntu
boxen, on only one of which I am root.) Thus, the standard solution
of binding to whatever socket.gethostname() returns does not work.
Has anyone found a simple solution that can be administered without
root privileges? I mean simpler than passing the ip address
manually :-)
TIA
Hi,
Use the address 0.0.0.0
