I can not change the computer name of an iMac running 10.5.2 : the Computer Name field is disabled (grey) in the Sharing system preferences, so I can not change its value.

If I run :
sudo scutil --set ComputerName "New name"

in the terminal, the name is changed in the GUI.

Then If i logout and login again, the Computer name is the old name.

Does anyone understand what happened ?

Those are the symptoms of a machine that is being managed by a server. That wouldn't be the case, would it?

Yes it's a managed client. I forgot I added this iMac to a list for tests purpose. The "Use This Name As The Computer Name For Managed Clients" options was checked.

Thanks for the tips Jose !`
