Parick Steranka kindly suggested that I should check the man page, which
I did ('who [-muTlHqpdbrtasAcR] [file]' indeed - someone must have had
altogether too much time on their hands...:-). It seems 'who -R' is the
thing to use on HP-UX:
-R Displays the user's host name.
(It even compensates for the truncation I mentioned.)

I gather -T tries to print some comment from /etc/inittab or somesuch,
only falling back to the hostname as a last resort. Try -R instead - but
see below too.

Then crumm.net.CSUChico.EDU (it is *not* case-independant) in
/etc/hosts.equiv *should* work...

Could be something wrong (or "incompatible") with its lookup of remote
IP address and address->name, I suppose - try with rlogin and see if it
makes a difference.
