And because it works by doing a reverse DNS lookup it depends upon live network connectivity at that moment working for the network lookup and the results are spotty depending upon how DNS is set up and how many IP addresses are configured on the host. It's problematic. Bob _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
