I don’t even try.  Thanks to

<https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/master/.osx>, I just use:

#!/bin/sh

#       SetComputerNames.command        jrc     long ago

#       set hostname(s) interactively
#       inspired by # https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/master/.osx

echo ""
  echo "Setting your computer name (as done via System Preferences → Sharing)"
  echo "What would you like it to be?"
  read COMPUTER_NAME
  sudo scutil --set ComputerName $COMPUTER_NAME
  sudo scutil --set HostName $COMPUTER_NAME
  sudo scutil --set LocalHostName $COMPUTER_NAME
  sudo defaults write 
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server NetBIOSName 
-string $COMPUTER_NAME

echo ""
