bobw The Late: SuperMacMod Jun 3, 2006 #4 The name in Terminal should be your Short User Name, not the computer name. ChangeShortName
F freaky OSXer Jun 3, 2006 #5 My shortname is firstlastname, but in terminal it's something different which is also the first website that I believe I added to my computer to use for development (without the TLD). Any other ideas?
