So you won't see /etc/hosts queries on the network and needn't see them when tracing syscalls. But yes, one could watch DNS queries with some libpcap mechanism (tcpdump being the most famous of them). But then it might be easier to talk the named on the server side into logging, see "man named" for details if that's what you have running there. Unless the LAN is somewhat bigger and you need the filtering capabilities tcpdump provides you with. virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
