Obviously ssh appears to be the preferred answer but if tcsh is
available on the remote host, check for tcsh's REMOTEHOST environment
variable.  It should have exactly what you want.

If it (tcsh) was built to support it ($version will have an "rh" in
it), tcsh will attempt to set $REMOTEHOST to the name (or IP address)
of the incoming machine according to getpeername() on the incoming
socket connection.  This of course won't do you much good if you are
connecting via more than one hop, connecting through a firewall, want
security, etc.

HTH,
