- Actually it doesn't, or at least it shouldn't on ISC 2.2. The Shadow
- Password Suite should be configured to log host information only if
- the system's /etc/utmp format provides a ut_host field. You could
- certainly hack on login to record that info, but you'd break every
- single program on your machine which reads /etc/utmp.
-
- None the less, it's still a nice package. You should check it out
- some time, John. :-)
