The following code snippet seems to work on intel but I get mixed results on powerpc. Gethostname always returns noErr but sometimes the name I get back doesn't work in gethostbyname. Result: Host is nil and h_errno is 1. gethostname() just returns whatever was previously set by sethostname() (which is not a Posix call, AFAIK). Whether it returns something sensible is up to the last caller :-}. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
