<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I realize that I may be suffering from Re-create
the wheel disease but I have already re written the script partially as an
exercise and partly as wanting the power to customize it. what I really need at
this point is a way to turn symbolic addresses into IPs and leave IPs alone from
a command line. but I don't know of one that works easily. I do appreciate the
suggestions though.</FONT></DIV>

am trying to create a script to block people using hosts.deny. I
realize<BR>that I should just block everyone and then open access for those

possible. <BR>basically I check log files for login attempts every five
minutes and block<BR>those that attempt to log in more than 3 times that
day. this is all working<BR>great but my problem is this. I sometimes get
log entries with the symbolic <BR>address instead of the ip. how do I
convert these in a systematic way and<BR>not have a problem when I run IPs
through it. I'm sure this is an easy task<BR>but I don't now what tool to
use.<BR><BR>thanks for your help <BR><BR>Steven Lamb<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
