What's up with unresolvable hostnames when logging in? When I used to log into my box from the school, using OpenBSD 3.0, both using 'who' and 'last' would show an IP as the hostname that the box at school reported did not exist (to the outside world), so instead it would just log the IP. However, now with FreeBSD 4.5, it's logged it as "invalid hostname", thus giving me no indication of where someone logged in, if the hostname doesn't resolve. How can I fix this, and why does FreeBSD do this? Or is it even 'fixable'?
