On my FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE (01 Aug) system, the 'w' command seems
to have a broken '-n' functionality. It displays hostnames rather
than IP numbers.

Another system built the same day does not have any problems
problems with 'w -n', displaying the IP numbers like it should.

Both systems have the same source in /usr/src/usr.bin/w.

What could be causing 'w -n' on one system to return hostnames 
instead of IP numbers?

   - Mike
