| 16:41.06 | wps | there is a "/bin/hostname" but it's contents are binary |
| 16:41.12 | wps | (ie: illegible) |
| 16:41.40 | feutetejsd | yeah, that's the hostname binary that prints out your machine's hostname in terminal and lets you set it (albeit temporarily) |
| 16:42.10 | wps | hmm |
| 16:42.53 | feutetejsd | i saw on macosxhints.com that there are some items in /ets/hostconfig that are not present in Tiger that were present in Panther, but either had their value set to No or to Automatic or something |
| 16:43.00 | feutetejsd | that may explain the missing HOSTNAME line |
| 16:45.41 | feutetejsd | here's some info on how to tweak your bash prompt: |
| 16:45.42 | feutetejsd | http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/8202 |
| 16:47.58 | feutetejsd | i haven't tried it because Im on 10.3.9, and was able to make the appropriate change in /etc/hostconfig, but might be worth a shot |
| 16:48.04 | wps | k |
| 16:50.56 | wps | works |
| 16:50.57 | wps | thanks |
| 16:51.21 | feutetejsd | no worries....kind of a kludge, but if it works, then.... |
| 16:51.40 | wps | now the question is… |
| 16:51.46 | wps | do I want it to look like traditional linux: |
| 16:52.01 | wps | [wade@host]$ |
| 16:52.05 | wps | or traditional mac: |
| 16:52.17 | wps | host: |
| 16:52.20 | wps | :) |
| 16:52.36 | feutetejsd | if it were me (and I know it isn't), I'd go with the Linux flavor |
| 16:53.07 | feutetejsd | but that's just me |
| 16:53.22 | wps | not sure if I care that much about username |
| 16:53.23 | wps | I know who I am |
| 16:53.31 | feutetejsd | hehe |
| 16:53.38 | *** join/#byumug guest_2426 (n=BYUMUG@59.94.208.52) |
| 16:54.57 | wps | or, I just realized that the mac way has the username too |
| 16:54.59 | wps | just on the other end |
| 16:55.16 | wps | host:/path username$ |
| 16:56.18 | wps | s/or/oh |
| 16:56.26 | feutetejsd | hmmmm....on bash on PAnther, it's like this: [user@host path]$ |
| 16:56.44 | wps | really? |
| 16:56.46 | wps | interesting |
| 17:01.13 | feutetejsd | this guy seems to think that tweaking /etc/hostconfig will do it too.... |
| 17:01.14 | feutetejsd | http://www.luisdelarosa.com/blog/2005/08/how_to_have_a_s.html |
| 17:02.02 | wps | I'll give that a try |
| 17:02.06 | wps | I like that better if that will work |
| 17:02.16 | wps | I was wondering if just adding it would work |
| 17:03.14 | feutetejsd | the first guy I linked you to seemed to indicate that it didn't work in Tiger, but this other guy says it does.....I dunno |
| 17:03.19 | wps | right |
| 17:03.30 | wps | all of this might explain why "hostname.local" stopped working in a web browser with 10.4 |
| 17:03.34 | wps | which made me sad |
| 17:03.38 | feutetejsd | :( |
| 17:03.43 | wps | you now have to use your IP or "localhost" |
| 17:04.48 | wps | I can very curious if if adding HOSTNAME works for terminal… if it will also fix the web browser .local thing |
| 17:04.58 | wps | I will try all this and let you know after this download is done |
| 17:05.50 | feutetejsd | cool |
| 17:10.51 | feutetejsd | if one of these fixes works for you, we probably ought to post it back to the mailin list....looks like someone else is seeking the answer too |
| 17:11.03 | wps | indeed |

| 18:10.12 | wps | feutetejsd, HOSTNAME worked |
| 18:10.18 | wps | I commented out the stuff I put in bash_profile and it worked |
| 18:18.34 | feutetejsd | cool; |
| 18:18.38 | feutetejsd | good to know |
| 18:18.49 | feutetejsd | i wonder why they took that out of /etc/hostconfig |
| 18:19.04 | wps | yeah |
| 18:19.05 | wps | weird |
| 18:24.33 | wps | it didn't fix the hostname.local in web browser issue though :( |

| 18:37.52 | feutetejsd | but localhost works, right? |
| 18:37.59 | wps | yeah |
| 18:46.17 | cboyack | either of you play w/ google earth yet? |
| 18:47.18 | wps | nope |
| 18:47.37 | cboyack | i pretty much spent like 6 or 7 hours this weekend using it, lol |
| 18:47.43 | feutetejsd | I have on windows.... |
| 18:47.44 | wps | wow |
| 18:47.45 | feutetejsd | pretty cool |
| 18:48.11 | cboyack | yeah, it's amazing.. found all the places in my mish i was at, all sorts of geological stuff.. loads of fun |
| 18:50.43 | feutetejsd | cool |
| 18:50.56 | feutetejsd | I've heard talk of a Mac version....do you know anything about that? |
| 18:51.16 | wps | a lot of people have experienced instability |
| 18:51.26 | cboyack | yeah, i have the mac version.. that's what i was referring to |
| 18:51.45 | cboyack | i've used every feature it has (a couple are disabled or non-functional) and changed prefs around and stuff, without a hitch |
| 18:52.16 | wps | perhaps the reported instability was caused by operator error |
| 18:52.19 | feutetejsd | cool. I'll have to get my hands on it....where do you download it from? |
| 18:52.43 | cboyack | i don't recall where, it was a link posted on digg somewhere.. i have it on my server and can provide you the URL if you want it, so long as you don't distribute the URL |
| 18:52.56 | feutetejsd | yeah, that would be cool |
| 18:53.01 | feutetejsd | it'll be our little secret |
| 18:53.03 | cboyack | http://www.connorboyack.com/GoogleEarth.zip |
| 18:54.31 | cboyack | hopefully it won't go too slow - my roommate is most likely playing halo on xbox live :) |
| 18:54.49 | feutetejsd | LOL |
| 18:54.53 | feutetejsd | thanks man |
