Okay ...the scenario was...
I telnet from my PC (remote host) to a UNIX machine with user ABC. Now I
can login from another PC on the same UNIX m/c as USER ABC, I just want
to know the remote host name ("who -m" ) so that I can set my DISPLAY
environment to the remote host
I have achieved it for the time being by putting the following in my
..cshrc (cshell) by doing
setenv DISPLAY `who -m | sed 's/.*(\(.*\))$/\1/'`:0.0

Would you mind doing us the favor of restating your requirements? So
far
we have
- remote host where the user is sitting (some N hops away)
- remote host from which the user connected (0 or 1 hop)
- this host when connecting remotely
and all of them, of course, have various ramifications.
TIA & HAND & maybe then we can help productively
:-D
