Named, or hosts? does an nslookup on 141.201.2.16 give you frosch's name? This would probably not be a bug in who, as who just reads the utmp file, and I would suspect either a config problem, or a problem with whatever's writing the utmp file. in.rlogind, or in.telnetd. If there's nothing wrong in the hosts file on dackal, and nslookup is right, let me know, and I'll find something else to test it with. -- Carl Streeter | "Nothing is more frightening than streeter@cae.wisc.edu | ignorance in action" --Goethe Just another Perl hacker | ...Have you seen my saltshaker?

I upgraded to libc-4.6.27-carl but a probably resolver-related problem didn't go away: who reports wrong hostnames. Here is what I did: I logged in from frosch.cosy.sbg.ac.at to dackel.cosy.sbg.ac.at and issued "who" (I was logged in from baer.cosy.sbg.ac.at, too). dackel and baer are Debian 0.93 systems, frosch is a sun sparc running SunOS. who displayed: root@dackel:/tmp> who chris ttyp0 Apr 23 19:09 (baer.cosy.sbg.ac) chris ttyp1 Apr 23 19:18 (dackel.cosy.sbg.) ^^^^^^ should be frosch Here are the IP-Adresses of these hosts: 141.201.2.16 frosch 141.201.2.58 dackel 141.201.2.205 baer (temporarily connected via SLIP) -Chris ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to chris@cosy.sbg.ac.at (Christian Linhart) : New bug report received and forwarded.
