w(1) gives the -a option:
-a Attempt to translate network addresses into names.
But this appears to be the default:
wrath~;w
5:46PM up 8 days, 1:08, 1 user, load averages: 0.50, 0.45, 0.37
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT
mwlucas p0 adsl-99-103-114- 5:44PM 0 w
Adding -a doesn't change the output.
I would *think* (there's my problem, I know) that if -a is the
default, then there would be a -n or somesuch to turn off hostname
resolution. What am I missing here?
Yes, there's other ways to see what IP I'm logged in from, just seemed
strangely inconsistent for you folks.
