'hostname' vs sharing name (OS X)
by Andrew White

On OS X 10.3 and 10.4, we've recently noticed that if the hostname and the
sharing name (system prefs) do not have the same root (eg bob -> bob.local
vs terrence.my.domain.com) then names advertised by NSNetService will be
based on the sharing name (bob.local) while names derived from
NSProcessInfo hostName will be based on the Unix hostname (terrence...).

Is there a way to query the system for the name used by Bonjour?
