RE: Lower case host names - Little Help?

Sorry, let's try it without the pki signitures:

I opted to fix the clients rather than alter the server.  I figured that
the server's case-sensitive nature made more sense.

I found that if you go into the windows registry and fix the case of the
machine name, windows doesn't seem to object and the change takes effect
immediatly.  In regedit go to
hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip\parameters.
Where you see the name in upper case, change it to lower case.  This has
worked for me with windows nt and 2000.  You mileage may vary.  

Hope this helps,
Ted.

I'm just wanting to know where about I would insert the code.  Which
file in the server handles receiving the messages from clients?

Here is some C code that you could use...

#include        <stdio.h>
#define         TRUE    1
#define         FALSE   0

int     ch;

int upper(), lowercase();

main()
{
        int iret;
        while( (ch = getc(stdin)) != EOF && ch != NULL )
        {
                if( (iret = lower()) )  lowercase();
                putc(ch,stdout);
        }
}
int lower()
{
        return( ( 65 <= ch && ch <= 90 ) ? TRUE:FALSE ); }

int lowercase()
{
        ch += 32;
}

Does nobody have a clue as to how to do this?

I was looking for a server-based solution. I am familiar with aliases on
the clients.  Surely there is a way that I can have the server convert
the strings to lower case.  If someone could point me at the right file
to look at, I have a good deal of programming and scripting experience.

1) Make sure the host names in bb-hosts is lower case    (so network
tests
are reported to lower case name)
2a) in *nix systems for each client, use the bb syntax "alias" (or
aliasname, close  any way) to  have that client report in the way you
want.
2b) for windows clients, you are allowed to configure the hostname the
results are reported as.

You should be able to find the  exact format by searching the bb
documents for alias.
