The issue is that DNS hostnames can change between the time the wtmp entry was made and the time you run last and try to perform DNS resolution, so the wtmp database keeps IP addresses only. This being said, you can get what you've asked for by installing the / usr/ports/dns/adns port, and running "last | adnsresfilter". Regards, -- -Chuck
