- Does anyone know how one might be able to derive
- a systems hostname from it's IP address?!? RARP is
- similiar in function in that it is supposed to be able
- to derive an IP number from a physical ethernet address,
- however, I need to go one step further.
-
- Any help would be appreciated!
-
- P.S. The network I am operating on does not have any
- "open" accounts which could be used for a
-
- rsh IP# uname -n
-
- The network is also EXTREMELY heterogeneous and
- LARGE!
-
- Thanx!
