Howdy folks,
Does anybody know a standard way to retrieve the hostname from /etc/utmp
or getting this hostname any other standard way?
It should work for UNIX V.2 through UNIX V.4 and BSD (...).
I am aware of the fact /etc/utmp hasn't always a ut_host member in
its structure.
NOTE: who gives this output:

I'm interested in this entry ----------^
Many thanks,
