Does anyone know how to make the ip of the person telnetting into my box
display on the issue.net. Is there some % command to do that? I read man
issue.net and nothing was there concerning it. I would like my issue.net to
say your ip (ip here) has been logged, or something on that order, but I
don't know how to make it display on the issue.net. Anyone know how to do
this?

From man issne.net on my system:

DESCRIPTION
       The  file  /etc/issue.net  is a text file which contains a
       message or system identification to be printed before  the
       login  prompt  of a telnet session. It may contain various
       %char sequences. The following sequences are supported  by
       the telnetd:

       %t     - show the current tty

       %h     - show the system node name (FQDN)

       %D     - show the name of the NIS domain

       %d     - show the current time and date

       %s     - show the name of the operating system

       %m     - show the machine (hardware) type

       %r     - show the operating system release

       %v     - show the operating system version

       %%     - display a single '%' character


It doesn't appear you can get the remote IP though :(
