Hello,
Why is hostname(1) output in UPPERCASE, when the native Windows 2000
hostname.exe outputs lowercase? Is this something I've unwittingly
enabled? Regardless, shouldn't RFC 1178's suggestion be followed? (It
states, "convention dictates that computer names appear all lowercase.")
Or is this a sh-utils rather than a cygwin bug?
Here's my current output:
ead@COWBERRY ~
$ hostname
COWBERRY
ead@COWBERRY ~
$ /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/hostname
cowberry
ead@COWBERRY ~
$
This is in a brand new and complete 2003.01.09 download and install of
cygwin on a Windows 2000 Professional SP2 machine (under both bash(1)
and zsh(1)). See the output of "cygcheck --sysinfo", below, if
necessary.
Many thanks,
Eric

Cygwin hostname reads
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ActiveComputerName]
"ComputerName"="<uppercase_name>"
while the native reads
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
"ComputerName"="<lowercase_name>"

The computer name that hostname(1) returns is the one the Win32 API
returns.
I'm not sure if this can be looked upon as a bug as cygwin gets the
computer-name from win32 syscalls and hostname(1) gets the name from
cygwin... Are you sure your computer name isn't set in capitals? Are you
using a dns suffix?

Subject: why is hostname(1) output in UPPERCASE?
> Hello,
> Why is hostname(1) output in UPPERCASE, when the native Windows 2000
