When you set the computer name in System Preferences -> Sharing, there are
two things that get changed
in the OS: the Computer Name and Local Host Name. The Local Host Name is
the same as the Computer Name
only it uses dashes instead of spaces.
Here's a command you can run to change the name of the machine. Change
the words Enter Name Here, between
the quotes, to desired name:
name="Enter Name Here"
scutil --set ComputerName "$name"
scutil --set LocalHostName `echo "$name" | sed 's/ /-/g'`
