Now I can contribute a FIX back to the community I have been having an issue since I upgraded my box to OSX 10.7 Lion – It periodically "falls off" the Windows AD Domain. The most visible effect of this is that when the screen saver with a password kicks in, you cannot unlock the screen. Also, when you are doing things that require admin privs, the password doesn't work. Seriously aggravating. Fix: - Set the hostname manually to the fully qualified domain name   - Run this magic command from the Terminal (command line): sudo scutil --set HostName InsertYourHostnamehere - Reboot That’s seriously all you have to do. But what a P.I.T.A. to figure out. Related reference: http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-1188443.html Thank you for the info! Now I can contribute a FIX back to the community

That’s seriously all you have to do. But what a P.I.T.A. to figure out.

If all you wanted was a shorter hostname in the bash shell, you could also have changed the bash prompt to show only the first part of the hostname, up to the first point.

After the hostname change, log out of terminal and log back in, you should see that the hostname has changed in the terminal command line as well.  Man this worked great.
