the first function call in the ping's source is a call to "gethostbyname()" - and returns null. In the manual pages of gethostbyname() is a cross reference to "named(8)". I guess that means "name daemon"???? I cannot find on my system neither a manual entry for "named" nor such a file nor process ("ps -ef|grep name"). My question: do I need this process?? And in the case I need it - where can I get it from ?
