>Description:
telnetd has the lovely "-u" option that allows use to control whether
the user's utmp entry will record the login source host as an IP number
or a partial hostname. There is no corresponding option in rlogind,
so in an environment that supports both "telnetd -u0" and rlogind, we
will have some utmp entries with IP addresses and others with partial
hostnames.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
port "-u N" code from telnetd to rlogind (and possibly rshd?)
