Hi folks, this is my first posting here.
My MBP running Snow Leopard has suddenly started behaving oddly. Every time it boots, and every time I change network device (e.g. from ethernet to AirPort) the hostname reverts to localhost. The boot log shows this:-
Jan 13 11:09:50 Lee-MacBookPro configd[15]: network configuration changed.
Jan 13 11:09:50 localhost configd[15]: setting hostname to "localhost"
This happens at boot time as well - configd sets the hostname correctly, then immediately resets it:-
Jan 13 10:48:40 localhost configd[15]: network configuration changed.
Jan 13 10:48:40 Lee-MacBookPro configd[15]: setting hostname to "Lee-MacBookPro.local"
Jan 13 10:48:43 Lee-MacBookPro configd[15]: network configuration changed.
Jan 13 10:48:45 Lee-MacBookPro bootlog[44]: BOOT_TIME: 1263379713 0
Jan 13 10:48:46 localhost configd[15]: setting hostname to "localhost"
There seems to be no premise for this - the hostname has always been the same, and it has always been configured as a local name for my LAN, using the UI Sharing preferences pane. The only thing that has happened recently is I have been working at a client site, so maybe a network conflict occurred there?
My only solution is to manually run "sudo hostname ..." every time I reboot or connect to the network.
Any ideas greatly appreciated!
