ssh slow login due to "USERDOMAIN" being set?

[Andre Loker]

Hello,

I'm experiencing long delays (~10 seconds) when I try to login into a 
server running cygwin 1.7.13 using ssh. The symptoms are basically the 
same as described here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-02/msg00844.html

I somehow have the feeling that it is network related, more specifically 
the problems appeared (if I remember correctly) after I changed the 
computer name of the server.

cygcheck -srv now prints

HOSTNAME = 'loker-it'
...
USERDOMAIN = 'RS200313'
...
COMPUTERNAME = 'RS200313'

The server is a rented root server and is NOT in a domain. Originally 
the name was  'RS200313', but I renamed it (in Windows' Advanced System 
Settings -> Computer Name) to 'loker-it'. I have the feeling that cygwin 
thinks the server is in a domain. How can I tell cygwin not to set 
USERDOMAIN? And while we're at it: how can I set COMPUTERNAME? Can I 
simply export the variable?

Please let me know if you need more information.

Thanks for your answers!

Regards,
Andre Loker
