[-- Attachment #1 --] Dear all, my testbed lacks of Ethernet Ports so one machine has no connection to my DNS, no problem, there is something called /etc/hosts I thought. It works if I ping 'hostname', but how can I find out the IP of 'hostname' from the command line? dig and host want to contact the DNS server, also nslookup does, so I think I need a utility which uses the gethostbyname(3) function. Is there one? Unfortunately I can't write one myself, at least not in a reasonable amount of time.... Thanks, -Harry [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCR5N0Bylq0S4AzzwRAnRqAJwILrRhqKimACowkRkWTW4a4l/wggCfcU/3 0nj8o24uS0EeBgiJp1f5WpA= =EF3U -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
