hmm.. i just made the utmp (who, last)

it show's the online users, but it doesn't
resolve the ip adress to netbios name.. ??

also (maybe same prob here), when i use /log.%m
the log files appear whith machine names (this is normal)
but it also generate logfile's with ip nr's (eg. log.192.168.2.50)

i use wins en bcast to resolve names..

is there still some bug where hostnames don't resolve correct ??
and how can i make utmp show netbios names ??
