10.4: How to disable Bonjour
Authored by: nicola on Jul 18, '05 10:28:36AM

Have you already tried adding

<key>Disabled</key>
<true/>

to the .plist file? (just above the </dict> line at the end).

10.4: How to disable Bonjour

Sorry I forgot to mention:
to permanently disable a service without tampering with the .plist file, the launchctl man page says that you need to add '-w' to the unload option, this way:

launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

Will doing a "load" undo this, or is re-enabling it more complicated than that?

Using the unload -w flag is the equivalent of putting

<key>Disabled</key>
<true/>

into the plist file (have a look).

Using the load -w flag is the equivalent of putting

<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>

into the file

Try doing

launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

to permanently disable BonJour.
