Hi there,

I asked how can I setenv the DISPLAY automatically when rlogin.

I used the "who am i" command in the .cshrc to find the machine I
rlogined from and so to setenv the DISPLAY. However I got errors while
doing it on Solaris 2.5.

The answer I liked best was a simple one. use "last -1"

TRY:

set RHOST=`last -1 | awk ' { print $3 } '|sed -e "s/\..*//" `
setenv DISPLAY ${RHOST}:0.0

I tested it. It sure works.
Thanks Terry Gorby

I also got many other interesting answers starting from just use
"/usr/ucb/whoami", an answer which didn't help, All the way to a 2
miles script taken from the CDE.

Thanks a lot to everyone who answerd:
