Hello,

I am researching the ChangeIPAddress.command as described on:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107637

I'd like to know if this is usable remotely (i.e. via ssh) as the
article specifically instructs the user to log in locally.

If a local login is required, why would I not use the Network panel of
System Preferences? Much simpler ...

Any feedback gratefully received.

Ian Masters


Ian,

The ChangeIPAddress cli tool is only for MacOS X Server and it fixes up a bunch of places where MacOS X Server uses the IP address and/or DNS address.

The System Preference Network pane just updates the network settings, so all the other places that also use the IP/dns address aren't updated.

As for doing it remotely, I would imagine that unless you take special precautions, the network connection you would use to run the command [ie, ssh to the server] probably would be disconnected as part of executing the ChangeIPAddress command.
