It would be the same for all other staff using this same machine and user.
They all come in via ssh. Only real difference is what machine they are
starting the ssh client from. 

I wasn't having any luck with tty or who or whoami. Maybe there is something
about those that I don't know, though.

I think I may have found what I need to do, although I haven't done it yet.
Apparently, ssh (usually according to man page) sets some vars. One of which
is SSH_CONNECTION.

I'll parse that, find out what the client ip is, and then, based on that, I
can decide to invoke bash or not in one of the scripts. Probably
.bash_profile?
