Hi *, Could you pleas help me with following problem ? I need to get FQDN of host as well as it's IP. So I need same result as "host" command gives me in *nix OSes. I found out these (suitable) functions: Socket.getaddrinfo IPSocket.getaddress TCPSocket.gethostbyname which can do the job (partialy). My problem is that non of them gives me back FQDN. Eg. let's say that I have myserver.mydomain.com which is FQDN and it's alias is myserver. My problem is that when I use any of those functions with "myserver" attribiute I always get as set of aliases ["myserver"] array only (e.g. no myserver.mydomain.com). Is there any way how to find out FQDN via some ruby function ? Thanks! Regards, V.
