It may use it, but doesn't seem to display it.

OTOH, who appears to display it by default.  In the listing I just did, it
displays IP address for most, hostname.domain for a handful.

I can guarantee you "who" never uses ll_host.

I'm baffled by Marcus's resp:29.  I haven't looked at the finger source
code, but if it uses ll_host, then I don't know what it uses it for,
because I've never seen it display it, and I can't think what finger
would do with ll_host other than display it.

I agree with Marcus's resp:30 though.  Who doesn't even look at the last
log file, it looks at the utmp file.  Lastlog lists the last time people
signed on, and has one entry for every person with a Grex account.  Utmp
lists who is currently on the system, and has entries only for people
currently logged on.  There's also wtmp that lists login and logoff to
Grex since the dawn of time.  The "last" command works on wtmp.

Yes, I'd confused two separate issues.  Sorry.
