And AFAIK only expensive log analysers (e.g. WebTrends) resolve IPs while analysing logs. Or is there a script I could run in crontab to convert unresolved IPs in the background? To not be completely off topic: Who uses NIS these days? I don't know anyone ... If it's not popular, then why is it enabled as default? Best regards, Barry mailto:barry@penrallt.clara.co.uk
