Hi,

Thanks, that gives me the IP address. Do I really have to do a
reverse DNS lookup to get the machine name?

What I'am after can be done in shell script as:

if ( ~ $addr 'net!$smtp' )
	addr=`{ndb/query dom `{ndb/query sys $sysname dom} smtp}

NB: My DHCP client gives me the domain, the smtp entry comes from
/lib/ndb/local.

I was just hoping to do it in C.

-Steve
