Is there a quick way to change the name of the host as it appears in the terminal window, without screwing anything up on the system that depends on that name? I'd like the name to be the same as the computer's name in the Sharing preference panel. As I recall, you could edit this by editing
/etc/hostconfig, and changing HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC- to
HOSTNAME=-WHATEVERYOUWANTTOCALLIT-
Is this true, or safe? Any reason not to do it? Or is there somewhere else it can be done from, such as a system control panel?
