I know that there must be some way to resolve the IP name or address of someone who is logging into a system. Can anyone think of a way to do this such that it could be incorporated a part of the login process (i.e. put in .login or .profile). -- Quotron Systems Inc. | Phone: (213)302-4254 FAX: (213)302-4499 Dept. 36240 | uucp: ...!uunet!janus!ge1cbx!gerald 12731 West Jefferson Blvd. | Los Angeles, CA 90066 |
