I don't think that this issue is a Cygwin/X issue, even though the symptoms involve the problem...
I am currently on a WinXP machine named squire, which (using a DHCP server on a different machine), is fully DNS resolvable, as is its FQDN of squire.vpn I have setup an XDM server on another machine on the local LAN to which I have attempted to connect to using Cygwin/X. I received a number of authentication errors until I googled an answer saying that my hostname was not being resolved. My Cygwin bash prompt says '[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~'. Adding Squire to the other machine's /etc/hosts corrected the issue, and I was able to connect. Now, much as I would like to add and maintain a list of all the machines and their DHCP-resolved IP addresses with the first letter capitalized, is there a better way of changing or otherwise informing Cygwin that the WinXP hostname should not be capitalized? The hostname command failed with a "this system lacks the functionality", and I accept that answer as long as there is some way of filtering out WinXP's "user friendliness" when it comes to hostnames... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
