Unix Telnet session

Hi

Is there any way whilst in a telnet session you can view your client machine name that you are using to connect to the Unix box ? Smilie

I am not sure about the machine name but you can always check the IP using 'w' command!!

Thanks for that.

It does actually give us the machine name and not IP address. The only thing is this displays all users I was only intrested in the session I am in now
