Package: coreutils
Version: 8.26-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I have recently upgraded two machines from Debian jessie to Debian
Stretch. After the upgrade running 'who' (or 'who am i' or any other
variant) returns the list of users and their IP addresses, when
previously it returned the list of users and the hostnames of the
machines they are logging in from. Adding the '--lookup' option to
the 'who' command does not list the hostname either. I can only get
IP addresses from 'who', where previous it was the hostname.
None of the networking files have been edited since the upgrade
(/etc/nsswitch, /etc/hosts, /etc/network/interfacesi,
/etc/resolv.conf).

Probably a change in what the program creating the entry is logging. You
should be able to get a hostname with
who --ips --lookup
In general, IP resolution is avoided these days as it's relatively
expensive and unreliable anyway.
