I asked this a little while back, but got no answers, so I thought I would try again, as since then ive spent quite some time googling it, and can find very little information.
Bascially I have a Debian 4.0 box and a Deb 3.0 box [neither of which can be updated due to custom software]. When I do an nslookup using either the IP or the hostname of a client machine (our windows network runs on DHCP), I get the proper response. I can ping the client from the machine fine. However things are being logged to log files, using IPs, and not machine names. Both auth and syslog have IP entries which are pretty useless to me with things being on a DHCP network [which I also have no control over]. Can anyone help, or at least point me in the right way of getting the tcpd to start logging hostnames? Regards, Brian The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
