who - pc computer name



does anyone know of a way of identifying the pc / client name rather than ip address via who or some other aix command (5.3).

"last" will output :

code:
root      pts/1        host-name            apr 23 06:01   still logged in.if the remote client has a dns record, and it's being recognized by the dns resolver.
otherwise, get the ip and do :

code:
host 10.101.1.1, it will print :

quote:
remote.client.machine.com is 10.101.1.1

thanks for the reply, when i run host and ip address from last i get host : address ... not found

this means that this ip doesn't have dns record, is it a local ip ? if yes, ask the system/net admin, otherwise do a whois for the ip, like "whois -d 64.65.101.10" you will see to which organization it belongs, eventually some e-mail addresses.
