HP OpenVMS Systems

Source host name and address? (DECnet, IP, LAT)

» close window

The Question is:

 
How can i get the users IP address without using the show command? Is it by
lexical function?
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  OpenVMS usernames do not and can not have an IP address.
 
  Sessions used by OpenVMS users can originate from a remote (network)
  connection.
 
  The device that results from a remote TCP/IP and DECnet connection can
  and often does have information on the originating (remote) host.
 
  Most commonly, the TT_ACCPORNAM item on the f$getdvi lexical function
  or the equivilent item on the sys$getdvi system service can be used to
  retrieve the originating port information.  For remote interactive mode
  or network mode logins, the SYS$REM* logical names can also be used.
