You cannot directly do that.

var/Host=""
mob/Login()
   if(src.address=="127.0.0.1")Host=src.key
   Status()
mob/proc
   Status()
        world.status="Host:[Host]"

In response to A.T.H.K
Except there are a few other scenarios that you didn't cover by this, which would be helpful to at least mention.

If a user is the host, the following conditions will be met:

src.address will be world.address OR src.address will be "" OR src.address will be 127.0.0.1.

However, it's also nice to have support for setting up remote hosts. I personally solve this by having an INI file with this information, specifying the host's ckey.
