h/t Larry Gordon (copied because I want to make sure I always have it available):
When I log into the network at my job my Mac’s hostname always turns to:
larryx.na.corp.ipgnetwork.comI have my local hostname set to:
larryx.localSo What I would like to do is set my Mac’s hostname to my local hostname. You can do this all from Terminal in a single line.
Run this command in Terminal:
sudo scutil --set HostName larryx.local
