[LTP] Test cases for sethostname() system call.

[Suresh b. V. <sur...@wi...>]

Hi,

	Here I am sending some tests case for system calls sethostname(2). I am =
attaching both source files and patch format for latest ltp tree =
ltp-20021008.

The test file names are :

Sethostname01.c
Sethostname02.c
Sethostname03.c

The detailed description about test cases is given in respective source =
files.

The patch contains changes to testcases/kernel/syscalls/Makefile, =
runtest/syscalls files and a new make file for new directory =
sethostname.

Some issues :
-------------

1. Sethostname() is resetting value to NULL, if an invalid address is =
given for name. So, to overcome this problem, hostname is  resetting to =
original value as part of cleanup() routine. The same was mentioned =
under "side effects" section in sethostname02.c file.

This problem has been discussed in kernel mailing lists and ltp lists.

Thanks,
Suresh.
