Re: why is hostname(1) output in UPPERCASE?


Corinna,

Eric De Mund <ead@ixian.com>:
] Why is hostname(1) output in UPPERCASE, when the native Windows 2000
] hostname.exe outputs lowercase?

Thorsten Kampe <thorsten@thorstenkampe.de>:
] 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>"

Corinna Vinschen <corinna-cygwin@cygwin.com>:
] Fixed.

Many thanks.

Eric
