it looks like it; on my machine, at least, i have REMOTE_HOSTNAME
and REMOTE_IPADDRESS defined when i log in:
(astaroth)~: set | grep 'REMOTE'
REMOTE_HOSTNAME=simon
REMOTE_IPADDRESS=208.135.210.91
those aren't being set in any of the system-wide scripts or in
any of my personal ones, so i'm assuming that they are set by the shell.
the sad thing is that until you asked this, i was using an even uglier
kludge than yours to pull my remote host from the lastlog.
on a mildly related note, does anyone know if wtmpx (on solaris,
at least) stores the full name of the remote host, and last/finger simply
truncates it? the manpage on wtmpx defines ut_host as char ut_host[257];
i don't know any c, but assume this means that it is a 257-byte character
field.
