How to get the IP address / Host name of client machine

Hi

How to get the IP address / Host name of a particular user connected to Unix Server.

For example: If used 'DevUser1' is connected to Unix server. I need to find out from which PC this connection has been made.

How can this be achieved?

Thanks

you can use last command to find the ip/hostname of system from which user is connected. the list is a bit long, so u can use
last <username> to get the details

I am not sure if I have understood your concern.

However you can try the command last as below and get the details

Quote:
#last <username> |grep date
or

Quote:
#last <username> |grep time

the same is not possible with command who as its only going to display the status of current logged in user.
