It is then impossible to tell where the person logged in from. Great implementation decision, there. E.g.: kithrup 1% w 8:32PM up 14 days, 5:53, 7 users, load averages: 0.06, 0.09, 0.03 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT mumble p2 invalid hostname 8:15PM 10 -csh kithrup 2% last -1 mumble mumble ttyp2 invalid hostname Sun Mar 14 20:15 still logged in >How-To-Repeat: See above. >Fix: Replace the entire system and go back to the original CSRG method; at least it didn't give "invalid hostname" as the only indication of where the host came from. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
