hans,

yes, the hostname of the machine running ipfilter.  i use ssh
from a windows laptop (via TeraTermPro with the TTSSH
plugin) to get to most of my firewall hosts. so the title bar for
me is fixed. on occasion i sometimes have 4-6 windows open.
thus my want to have the hostname in the output header.

jim

ps
ttssh, if you are not familiar with it, is at
http://www.zip.com.au/~roca/ttssh.html

Dear Jim,

what machine name do you mean? The machine running ipfilter?
(This would be trivial; just start your xterm with the host name as title.)
Or the packet source host indicated by ipfilter -t -S host?
Or the packet destination host indicated by ipfilter -t -D host?
