Turn Rendezvous on/off from the command line
I'm fairly new to the Mac/OSX platform... Can someone also offer the right way to disable Rendezvous using the GUI, just for reference?
Turn Rendezvous on/off from the command line
you cant do it using the gui, as the whole point of rendezvous is to be invisible. why would you want to turn it off anyways?

Did you try to uncheck the Rendezvous box in /Applications/Utilities/Directory Access ?

I just tried that, and you hit the nail on the head. Unchecking Rendezvous in Directory Access effectively terminated the mDNSResponder, which if the main hint is accurate, should mean that Rendezvous is no longer running.

This sounds a bit odd to me. I believe that the service plug-in check boxes in Directory Access were solely for accessing directory server information by those protocols, not administering the protocols themselves. For instance, unchecking NetInfo certainly does not shutdown NetInfo or you would be unable to login except in single user mode. Likewise you can run slapd with the LDAP plug-ins left unchecked.

I have no idea why I would want to do this, that's why I want to do it ;) Just for the sake of experimentation.

Rendezvous and Multicast DNS in general causes a lot of network traffic, and if you don't need it, why bother generating the traffic?

There are a couple of good security reasons to turn Rendezvous off. If you're on an untrusted network (say the wireless LAN down at the local coffee shop), it might not be a good idea to broadcast what services you're running. Even if they're password protected, there may be as-yet unreleased security holes in them.
