How does he read the DNS record? Do you want to know which user is logged in from what IP/hostname? last | grep USERNAME will return the IP/hostname from where the user is logged in. Host name will appear if there is an corresponding entry in /etc/hosts file for that IP. Installing using ltspadmin sets up this file so that there are entries for all hosts in your sub-net range (usually from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254 the hosts are named ws001 to ws254). Using this host name you can ping to the terminal. But remember all processes of user are running on the server and not the terminal. If the intention is to manage user processes from IP/hotsname then it is not going to work. I am still trying to understand the end purpose of knowing hostname or pinging the host. -- Regards, Sudev Barar ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
