OBTAINING IP ADDRESS OR HOST NAME OF USERS

ITEM: RTA000027278



QUESTION:                                                                       
How can I get the IP address or host name of a user who telnet to               
my system.  The "who am i" command apparently reads the utmp file and           
reports the host name but that information is truncated.                        
                                                                                
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------                
A: There is command that can be used to gather the information                  
you are requesting:                                                             
   netstat -an  grep ESTABLISH                                                  
This will give you the IP addresses of the hosts that are either                
telneted or rlogined in to your system. You can use the same command            
without the "n" option, and it will display the hostname, but it can            
truncated here as well.                                                         
                                                                                
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------
