[MacTUG] Turning off Bonjour on Leopard

[Steve Hellyer]

Why?  Do you understand the ramifications?  What percent of your LAN  
traffic in SLP and Bonjour?
Leopard is different no longer Directory Utility. Now Directory Access  
and this reflects just Directory services.
(If you ask me that is how it should be)

We don't want bonjour turned off as we use for several items ("Shared"  
for example). But if you must....
Turn off
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ 
com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

Turn on again
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ 
com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

Think SLP is gone in Leopard. Never had anyone use it and it was  
typical to discover printers.  IPP does that.
