 There may be, but I don't know how,,, in the TSM 3.7 version the IP address
shows up along with the node name in the log. You'll see it over and over
again with every session started message. It may have showed up in the older
versions and I just never noticed. Here's an example:

16:29:26  ANR0406I Session 172131 started for node TDCITD03 (AIX)
(Tcp/Ip 149.183.181.203(33529)).
