Entity Joshua See spoke thus:

Uh oh, wonder if this is a bug?
Using "cat" :-)

>>> the file before:

sudo cat /Library/Preferences/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Active Directory</key>
<string>Inactive</string>
<key>AppleTalk</key>
<string>Active</string>
<key>BSD</key>
<string>Inactive</string>
<key>Rendezvous</key>
<string>Active</string>
<key>Version</key>
<string>1.1</string>
</dict>
</plist>

>>> the file after:

sudo cat /Library/Preferences/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Rendezvous</key>
<string>Inactive</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Guess I need to rebuild the file ...

I found some stuff suggesting a certain " mDNSResponder" can do it, have you
heard of such a command or service?
