gethostip works much better only gives the ip address given the right
option, works no matter the input

Subject: Re: hosts.deny script
From: "Steven J Lamb" <redhattedsheep@xxxxxxxxx>
I 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

man host
Maybe that would help.
