There are no specific calls to DNS, its something else doing it. I have been trying to track down which system call is doing it, but without success so far. I have tried syslog calls around each of the system calls I thought might be the culprit, but my guessing is not very good. How can I identify the system call that is calling DNS? If I can find it, I hopefully can find another way to do whatever it does that does not involve a reverse DNS lookup. The system DNS lookups are handled by libc.

getting system's telnet sessions' pid per pty
Hi everyone :) Do you have any ideas how i can separate telnet session's pid per pty it uses ?? i have written a reporter shell which prints out all current remote sessions' pid per tty per user. My shell uses 'pstree' tool together with 'w' command outputs to do so. Everything is fine. I just can't figure it out when one user makes more than one telnet session to my system! i have all of that user's telnet sessions' pids, but i can not figure it out to which pts they are related. if only i could trust on increasing pid assignment!! then i could use time entry in 'w' command's output to relate them.. Also, I'd rather not to keep old data of the time each session is created in a common structure to use it later on as well, i am trying to generate this list dynamically, based on current sessions available while calling my shell, using the tty which runs it.. any ideas? any other command line tools which may help me?? any command which gives me pid per tty information or alike?
