[techtalk] Where'd I come from?

Hey Linda,
  I'm sorry. The 'who' command is the one that you want. In RH it will not
truncate the from addr.
  In a telnet session to another host i issue 'who' and get this:
hhoffman 	pts/1 	Jan 17 21:38	(c829553-a.sttln1.wa.home.com)

If you go one step further you can write a perl program to grab this info
strip down to just the IP addr. then feed that to the shell for export.
Let me know if you need help doing this.
HTH,
