Hi On windows you could lookup the environment variable COMPUTERNAME and put that in the lock file. That would solve the issue with flaky remote shares. Could use uname on linux/MacOS. We could also use the IP address of the machine - that should help with flaky NFS shares. Although in the

For nitpickers, note that getdomainname does *not* return the DNS domain, but the NIS domain, which strictly speaking may or may not coincide. From my Solaris sysadmin experience (which is limited, and old), I'd say it is a very lucky site and/or organization if they happen to coincide. I

Seems that the original code was also broken of course, forking and execing /bin/domainname is indeed a bit stupid, and the domainname command is also specified (to the extent it is specified at all) to return the NIS domain name. But honestly, how many of the LibreOffice installations on Unix

Arnaud is correct, I was looking at the wrong method. But where do you see this method being used in file locking? Lionel, I've run across a lot of machines with badly configured DNS. socket.c: _osl_getDomainName is only used by socket.c: static sal_Char* _osl_getFullQualifiedDomainName
