SSH provides information about the addresses and ports involved in its
connection via the REMOTEHOST, SSH_CLIENT and SSH_CONNECTION environment
variables.  Microsoft's Terminal Server provides similar information in
the CLIENTAME environment variable.  Would it be a useful thing to take
this information and provide an easy/automatic way for users to filter out
Heisentraffic (traffic generated by Ethereal during a capture)?

As an example, if I'm ssh'ing into a box from 10.11.12.18, it might be
handy if Ethereal pulled the remote host information from $REMOTEHOST and
filled in "not host 10.11.12.18" as a default capture filter.
