How can I know IP address of terminal?
Hi all,

I am new in Unix world. I usually need to trace who connect to which terminal by IP address. So, could you please show me HOW TO RECOGNIZE which IP address connected to terminal? I use netstat by no luck.

Thank you,

I think you are asking for "who" command.

Try
Code:
finger -l

or simply finger command and extract the username and IP address from the output, if Where field displays a hostname instead of an IP address, check your /etc/hosts file against that hostname.

No, as ifconfig only displays information about the server, not the client. As others have mentioned "who" and "finger" can be used to obtain information about the client.

You can make use the command 'ifconfig'

If this does NOT work. You can type the command 'who am i'.

If you want to get exact string of IP, use following script:
who am i | awk '{print $5}' | sed -e s/\(// -e s/\)//
