    getting hostname of computer through rsh

    Hi, in my .cshrc file I would like to set DISPLAY.
    I know how to do that, thats not the problem though.

    Lets say I have a machine called mike and I rsh to a machine called luke, I would somehow like
    to set the DISPLAY variable to mike:0 automatically. Now If I could get mike into an enviroment variable, I could set my display in .cshrc using that variable.

    Anybody know of how to go about doing this?

    My tip is that you should use ssh instead of rsh. It's more secure, and you can set it up to perform automatic X11 forwarding.
