How do you folks feel about making inetd set the REMOTE_HOST variable to the
hostname/ip of the connected peer? SGI's do this and it comes in quite handy.
Is inetd the right place (instead of login say?). I keep debating between the
two, but for maximal benefit I think it should stay in inetd, and have login
preserve the value, or reset it..
Comments?
