Subject: getdomainname trouble on Win2K/cygwin 1.3.9
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hello!

I'm running Win2K(SP2) German edition and have a problem with the
"getdomainname()" function.

I have tracked it down to the following example:
-- snip -- snap --
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
        char buffer[100];
        int result=getdomainname(buffer, 100);

        if(result<0)
                perror("getdomainname");
        fprintf(stderr, "domainname: '%s'\nResult: '%d'\n",
                buffer, result);
        return 0;
}
-- snap -- snip --

Even with administrator privileges, all I get is this:
-- snip -- snap --
getdomainname: Permission denied
domainname: ''
Result: '-1'

-- snap -- snip --

with the following cygwin:
-- snip -- snap --
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 DIJKSTRA 1.3.9(0.51/3/2) 2002-01-21 12:48 i686 unknown
-- snap -- snip --


According to manual pages on Linux, HPUX and Irix, getdomainname() does
not produce an EPERM error. Even if there is no domain set, it should
return without error.


Is it me, the manual pages, or an error in cygwin?


Best regards,
    Jan
