Use shortname as default in dialog boxes?

[clutch]

Hi,

I’m wondering if there is a way to make any connection and authentication dialog boxes default to a users shortname instead of their fullname.
Possible?

Clutch.

Forget it – found it elsewhere.

FYI the commands are these:

10.4
defaults write -g com.apple.AppleShareClientCore -dict-add afp_use_default_name -bool NO
defaults write -g com.apple.AppleShareClientCore -dict-add afp_use_short_name -bool YES

10.5
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkAuthorization UseDefaultName -bool NO
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkAuthorization UseShortName -bool YES
