Hi,

w is IPv6 unfriendly as it is not able to print out the actual FROM
location but truncates it arbitarily. Example:

succubus:[~]% w
 02:12:54 up 243 days, 23:05,  2 users,  load average: 0.14, 0.17, 0.14
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
wildfire pts/17   2001:388:c0c5:0: 02:12    1.00s  0.27s  0.07s w

succubus:[~]% COLUMNS=132 w
 02:13:00 up 243 days, 23:05,  2 users,  load average: 0.12, 0.16, 0.14
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
wildfire pts/17   2001:388:c0c5:0: 02:12    0.00s  0.27s  0.07s w
