[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] connection from remote host

robert@swanee.ee.uwa.oz.au (Roberto Togneri) (04/16/91)

Hi,
	Is there a way under Unix (esp. SunOS 4.1.1.) to check from which
host a user is logging in from and limit logins to a particular set of hosts
or domains. This would be handy for setting up secure nopassword logins. With
irises a REMOTEHOST variable is set which can be user. No such variable
is defined with our Suns.


If anybody help I'd appreciate it.
