Re: disabling Bonjour



Here's a clean way to disable mDNSResponder in Tiger.
$ sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

Here's a clean way to reenable it:
$ sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

This seemed to work in my limited testing. Gotta love launchctl/launchd....
