[LARTC] Not quite on topic, but...

[Robb Bossley]

Hey everyone,

Hope you all had a great Christmas!

I am running Linux-2.6.14.3 with iptables 1.3.4.  It has been working
marvelously for me, but I noticed an unusual entry in my "last" log. 
I believe it was from me logging on from a friend's computer, but the
entry was not the typical xx.xxx.xxx.xxx entry.  The entry I saw was
"cpe-24-210-31-27".  Why is this notation different, and what would
have been the ip?  24.210.31.27?

TIA

Robb

That's probably the domain name of your friend's computer, but part got
truncated by last. Try 'last -a'.
