[ DNS ] Setting hostnames based on PTR

Xsan 2 will use the hostname to connect to a client, normally this is set correctly but due to some caching issues I had to manually set this via ARD the other day. Enjoy the quick code:

scutil --set HostName "$(host $(ifconfig en0 |

awk '/inet /{ print $2;exit}') |

awk '{print $NF;exit}' |

sed 's/.$//g')"
