> Is `hostname` what you look for? I just confirmed.... The Command Line "hostname" application does indeed return the TCP/IP hostname... In this case the DHCP assigned hostname...
But system_profiler does indeed for Local_host_name return the Sharing pref. Plane machine name.... Since I'm reading that information anyway, that works nicely...
