i tried to change my hostname on cygwin on my XP machine and i got this error...

hostname: cannot set hostname; this system lacks the functionality

what does this mean, is there any way i can change the hostname... or even change the first part of my name... eg...

system overide@systemor

how would i be able to change the system overide part?

also, is there any way to make a new account on cygwin?
