   found this in my log files, any hints what that is about and what I can do about it?

   You should contact the plugin author about that issue.

   sorry I don't get this:

   a) aren't you the plugin author?
   b) those errors are all BB related so aren't you the right person?

   or did I misunderstood you and you would like another place/form to be contacted? maybe your own forum? email?

   please let me know

   I have this problem too.

   Warning: gethostbyaddr() [function.gethostbyaddr]: Address is not a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address in /var/www/vhosts/[edited].com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/bad-behavior/bad-behavior-wordpress-admin.php on line 178

   Anyone know what's up?

   I did a little research and found that when cron jobs run on my server, bad behavior creates a log entry with a NULL IP address.

   On line 178 of bad-behavior-wordpress-admin.php, the code looks like this:

   $host = gethostbyaddr($result["ip"]);

   If the developer wouldn't mind, he/she should check for NULL or check to see if the string has digits before calling gethostbyaddr().

   Meanwhile, does anyone know how to tell BH to ignore my cron jobs?
