Hok....logresolve takes standard input, if you put an IP in it'll give you the host name out. resolveip takes the ip as standard input.

On OS X logresolve will return the hostname in the form of <crsid>.cai.private.cam.ac.uk, where crsid is the id of the person's computer. On ubuntu it returns the computers name (ie bluebottle.local), as does resolveip (can't get resolveip on os x).

How can I get ubuntu to display the hostname rather than the comptuer name?

On OS X
Code:
sxty2-a:~ sharonyang$ host 172.21.226.187
187.226.21.172.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer jd437-a.cai.private.cam.ac.uk.


On Linux
Code:
bill@Moriarty:~$ host 172.21.226.187
Host 187.226.21.172.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
