Re: [foxboro] DM Usage

To get the IP address of a station running a DM or FoxView, something like
this might work:

create a script (e.g. /opt/foxind/doit) that looks like:
        echo $DISPLAY > /tmp/foo

from a command line run:
        pref -DMNAME dmcmd "run /bin/sh /opt/foxind/doit"
where DMNAME is the offending Display Manager

I think that /tmp/foo will now have the IP address for the offending
station.

I don't have the hardware here to check this out, but if it does work, let
everyone know.

Greeting, All Wise and All Knowing List.
 
Is there a way to figure out the IP address of remote DM connections? 
There are remote desktop users, not listed in the /etc/hosts file, that
camp out on a DM.  They are supposed to release it when not in use.  The
DM usage display shows the first 2 octets of the address, I need the
last 2.  Then I can send the IT  'Enforcers' out to pay a friendly
visit...
 
Thanks,
