can not set a password or new hostname?

[Peter Buckley]

Sounds like you are on Win9x- 

To change your hostname, go into the Networking 
control panel and under the IDENTITY tab change 
the COMPUTER NAME to what you want your hostname to be. 
It is probably "OEMCOMPUTER" now, you can change it 
to be "NEWNAME" so your hostname will be 

"NEWNAME.domain.com"

HTH,
Peter

I create /etc/passwd
root::500:544::/home/root:/bin/bash                   

/etc/group
root::544:



passwd root or passwd don't work ,
alert me 
passwd.exe file connected to (korean- lossed
submission) NETAPI32.DLL:NetApiBufferFree.

hostname xxx.xxx.xxx 
hostname:cannot set hostname; this system lacks the
functionality

is there no way to set my hostname?
original hostname is OEMCOMPUTER
installed path c:/cygwin
default text file type unix
install for all
win-me
