Unless you are scripting...
The article doesn't make any mention of the author's reason for tracking down this preference file, but if you are simply trying to change the name shown in the login panel, wouldn't it be easier to go to the Sharing Preference Pane and change the entry in the Computer Name field? Of course, if you are scripting some process that requires extracting the computer name automatically than I guess it is useful to know the location where this data is stored.
Unless you are scripting...
I realize that the name can be easily changed in the System Preferences, and should have mentioned it as a side note. But, as you state, it is an interesting hint to show where to find the name in the system for use in scripts.
Unless you are scripting...
Scripting or working remotely. If all you've got is an ssh connection to a mac, this is the only way to do it. |
