Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bash
System: Ubuntu 8.04, standard install/ all updates
The HOSTNAME environment variable is not made available to user apps.
If I try to run this code,
getenv("HOSTNAME");
it fails. Also, if I do "env | grep HOSTNAME" I get no results. The
above code works on other distros, why not ubuntu?
I went into my /etc/bash.bashrc and added "export HOSTNAME" and that
seemed to fix it.
Is this a bug, or is ubuntu designed this way?
