Prevent the Terminal host name from changing | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews - 0 views

  • The hostname can be changed dynamically by routers and other network devices through DHCP requests, which can have the hostname keep changing every time your IP address and other DHCP information is renewed. If this is the case, you may be able to set the router to never provide hostname information, or you can set the computer to never accept a hostname change. To do this, you will need to add a line to the computer's hostconfig file using the following procedure: Open the Terminal Enter the following command: sudo pico /etc/hostconfig Authenticate, scroll to the bottom of the file, and add the following line: HOSTNAME=Tophers-Desktop (Change "Tophers-Desktop" to your desired hostname--no spaces) Save the file and quit by pressing control-X, confirming the save with the "Y" key followed by "enter".

Mac OS X v10.6: Active Directory binding lost on network transition (.local domain) - 0 views

  • Symptoms If network access is interrupted, a Mac OS X v10.6 client may not be able to reconnect to an Active Directory domain whose name ends in ".local".
  • Resolution Lengthen the default timeout for .local name lookups by editing the following file: /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/IPMonitor.bundle/Contents/Info.plist The key/value pair is: <key>mdns_timeout</key> <integer>2</integer> The integer value is in seconds; changing it to at least 5 should allow the Mac OS X client to reconnect to the Active Directory domain after a network interruption. In some configurations, a larger timeout value may be required. You can change this value by using the sudo command and a text editor to edit the preference file directly. Or you can use the Terminal command below, making sure to enter it all on a single line: sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Set :mdns_timeout 5' /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/IPMonitor.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
