Is there a command in Solaris which can translate IP address into
hostname and domain name and vice versa? I know MS DOS has "ping -a" and
Linux has "ping -c". Thanks.

Most versions of Solaris have ping.Quote:> Is there a command in Solaris which can translate IP address into

will give you the ip address of a server (in cache only)
otherwise put the names in your /etc/hosts file - when you ping, it
shows the hostname and IP for you.
otherwise nslookup
I'm assumin DOS and Linux use the same tools - or they come with a
random hostname / IP generator ;o)

1. using mac address instead of an IP address of hostname
Hi,
Can one make rules in iptables to allow outgoing connections based only
on destination mac addresses? I looked at the man page of iptables and
looks like that it can be used for incoming packets in some chains only.
thanks,
