I would be very interested in an answer to this question. We use IBM's
AADU (AIX Access for DOS Users) product. It is a bit of a dog, and I have
always assumed that the lack of infomation was it's fault. recently we
added some new connections that come in over a router and receive their
IP address dynamicly. Strangely enough the "Dynamic" IP address is visable
in the listing I get from the "last" command (of course it does not tell me
where the users is!). Each of the AADU machines has an assigned IP address
yet I cannot access that data, why? Sorry for rambling so, any ideas?
