hello,
I am running in to some odd problems with name resolution. Here is what I am
seeing:

ekholm@zeus:/home/ekholm> w
10:42PM  up 106 days, 23:24, 14 users, load averages: 0.75, 1.08, 0.94
USER             TTY      FROM              LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT
ekholm           p0       bigone           Sun09PM    33 -ksh (ksh)
ekholm           p1       bigone           20Nov00     - -ksh (ksh)

ekholm@zeus:/home/ekholm> who
ekholm           ttyp0   Nov 26 21:46   (192.168.0.17)
ekholm           ttyp1   Nov 20 19:00   (192.168.0.17)

ekholm@zeus:/home/ekholm> last|more
ekholm           ttyp0    192.168.0.17     Sun Nov 26 21:46   still logged in
ekholm           ttyp1    192.168.0.17     Mon Nov 20 19:00   still logged in
ekholm           ttypc    isis.XXXX.XXX    Mon Nov 27 22:26   still logged in
ekholm           ttyp8    j1xsfw01.XXXX.XXX Mon Nov 27 08:05   still logged in


The question is, why does w show the name I am from, but who and last do not.

ekholm@zeus:/home/ekholm> host 192.168.0.17
17.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. domain name pointer bigone.XXXX.XXX.

ekholm@zeus:/home/ekholm> host bigone
bigone.XXXX.XXX has address 192.168.0.17

This happens with almsot any host in my 192.168.0/24, but does NOT happen
with IPs in other blocks (as shown in the last).

Another problem is, this machine is running a IRC server, for some reeason
connecting clients are not resolving, shows user@ip instead od user@dom.com

Any ideas?
