On a pretty-close-to-related issue, why can't the r utitiles handle ip addresses? Seems to be a glaring omission.I've actually long wondered why gethostbyname(), if passed an IP address as a "hostname", doesn't simply return the host struct for that IP address.
It does return the host struct on Linux (and seems like on SysV machines, according to previous msgs on this thread). The execption is BSD (including SunOS and friends). -- yossi (yogo () math tau ac il)
