You can also let your device come up as a nifty iPhone icon by using the iPhone2,1 identifier. Very nice

Adi, you can do the same with mDNSresponder by adding the following to the config file:

your-machines-hostname
_device-info._tcp.
1
model=Xserve

Does anyone know how to accomplish this with mDNSresponder instead of Avahi ?

FreeNAS is forced to use mDNSresponder due to storage constraints for the emmbedded version so Avahi is out of the question..

Thanks in advance,

Adi

Just FYI for anyone who may be curious: to show a Quicksilver instead of a Graphite PowerMac, use PowerMac3,5

Hi Nils… let us know how you get on with editing the .plist file, please!

Is there a possibility of editing this .plist file and adding diff models? I’m looking at the .plist file right now and testing it…

Excellent tip! Thanks a lot!

For the lazy ones, these are other possible models:

Xserve (same a RackMac)
PowerBook
PowerMac
Macmini
iMac
MacBook
MacBookPro
MacBookAir
MacPro
AppleTV1,1
AirPort

There is a lot of submodels defined. But for those you’ll have to look in the plist.
