I just noticed something today on my PI.  When doing a "who", the
display nolonger tells me which logins are remote.  It used to display
the host name on the right hand side.  Is there some configurable
item I can change to make it go back to the old way of working?  I
know the host name display has a BSDism, but it was handy.

The old BSD way of getting the hostname into utmp was accomplished
by the undocumented "-h hostname" switch to login.  The switch is
still accepted but doesn't appear to do anything.
