Hello,
I'm experiencing long delays (~10 seconds) when I try to login into a
server running cygwin 1.7.13 using ssh. The symptoms are basically the
same as described here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-02/msg00844.html
I somehow have the feeling that it is network related, more specifically
the problems appeared (if I remember correctly) after I changed the
computer name of the server.
cygcheck -srv now prints
HOSTNAME = 'loker-it'
...
USERDOMAIN = 'RS200313'
...
COMPUTERNAME = 'RS200313'
The server is a rented root server and is NOT in a domain. Originally
the name was 'RS200313', but I renamed it (in Windows' Advanced System
Settings -> Computer Name) to 'loker-it'. I have the feeling that cygwin
thinks the server is in a domain. How can I tell cygwin not to set
USERDOMAIN? And while we're at it: how can I set COMPUTERNAME? Can I
simply export the variable?
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks for your answers!
Regards,
Andre Loker

No. These come from Windows, so you want to make the changes there.
Perhaps this link will help some?

It's totally embarrassing, but restarting the server solved the problem.
Doh!
Apparently I didn't restart the server after renaming it and as a result
cygwin got the two names mixed up. I had made sure to double check the
Window settings and they showed the expected values. My excuses for not
trying the obvious and thanks a lot for the answer.
Regards,
Andre
