No, inet_ntoa does return a pointer to the string form. From the
manpage:
char *inet_ntoa(struct in_addr in);
...
The inet_ntoa() function converts the Internet host
address in given in network byte order to a string in
standard numbers-and-dots notation. The string is
returned in a statically allocated buffer, which subse
quent calls will overwrite.
The warning is due to <arpa/inet.h> not being included, so gcc thinks
that inet_ntoa() returns an `int'.
