Hi,
I have a question about 5.0A, which I just installed on my DEC3000 Mod400
machine. I use the "who -M" command, in my default profiles and login
scripts to set the DISPLAY variable:
REMOTEHOST=`who -Mm|awk '{print $6}'|sed 's/(//'|sed 's/)//'`
DISPLAY="${REMOTEHOST}:0"
This had worked on 4.0B, 4.0D, and 4.0F, but now it seems to be a problem on
5.0A. In the 4.0X versions it always returned:
<login_name> <tty> <login_time> (<host_address>)
But in 5.0A I simply get:
<login_name> <tty>
The man page on 5.0A still indicates that the -M option still displays the
host, but in reality I'm not seeing this.
Is this a bug, and is there a patch for it?

UNIX is very user friendly, It's just very particular about who it makes
friends with.
