Hi all,
Is there a way to pass the ip or hostname of the computer that sent a job to a filter? The -h or -H filter flags would appear to work, but these are the hostname as reported by the control file, not necessarily the hostname of the computer that actually sent the job. This is for an authentication-type function so I need to be sure that the info is not spoofed (and, in any case, the hostname reported by some non-unix platforms is not a DNS hostname). Basically, I want the ip that the bits from the job actually came from not the ip that the bits in the job *say* they came from. Is there and option I'm missing to do this? Could you reliably parse this out of the -e or -k options? (-e and -k, the names of the data and control files respectively, seem to have the hostname embedded).
