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?

check /etc/resolve.conf and make sure its the same as what ever dns you have on the mac
if your stuck add in somert like opendns 208.67.222.222

are you allocated ip via dhcp at all ?

ops had a few - but just noticed - private and 172.21.

its like a 192 or 10 address just not as common
the mac has local dns via dhcp i guess and linux you added in manually ?
