Determining remote hostname from remote connections

Is there a way under Unix (esp. SunOS 4.1.1.) to check from which host a
user is logging in from and limit logins to a particular set of hosts or
domains. This would be handy for setting up secure nopassword logins. With
irises a REMOTEHOST variable is set which can be used. No such variable is
defined with our Suns.

If anybody can help I'd appreciate it.
