Exactly.
Just as on Windows.
You know that little part where Windows setup asks for the computer name ?
That's where it gets stored *once*.
And as we have SetComputerNameA, we should store it once, too, I think.
Or maybe not ?
What do you think ?
Well, at least SetComputerNameA has to store it in the registry, too
(it doesn't).
And GetComputerNameA has to retrieve the registry value, not call
gethostname().
