Hi
I have a number of blades running SLES10 and they do not resolve the hostname of an IP address when creating the accounting records in the /var/run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp files.
So, for example, when I type who, I see only IP addresses and not hostnames.
utmpdump also show only IP addresses for the utmp file.
Any ideas where this lookup occurs? I guess it's part of the login process and thought it may be a setting from the /etc/login.defs file, but couldn't see anything obvious in there.
Thanks and Regards
Mike

Re: /var/run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp do not resolve IP addresses in SLES10

That was where the problem was. I had the UseDNS option in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file set to no
