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.

am trying to create a script to block people using hosts.deny. I
realize that I should just block everyone and then open access for those
whom I know I trust but because of the nature of our network this is not
possible. basically I check log files for login attempts every five
minutes and block those that attempt to log in more than 3 times that
day. this is all working great but my problem is this. I sometimes get
log entries with the symbolic address instead of the ip. how do I
convert these in a systematic way and not have a problem when I run IPs
through it. I'm sure this is an easy task but I don't now what tool to
use.
thanks for your help
