Why is my hostname resolution taking so long?
Raw
set-hostname.sh
I was able to fix this issue by explicitly setting the HostName using scutil to be the same value as LocalHostName:
$ scutil --set HostName $(scutil --get LocalHostName)
Now:
$ sudo scutil --set HostName MacBook-Pro
$ time python -c 'import socket; print(socket.getfqdn())'
MacBook-Pro
python -c 'import socket; print(socket.getfqdn())' 0.01s user 0.00s system 86% cpu 0.016 total
I was confused before because of the following:
$ scutil --get LocalHostName
MacBook-Pro
$ hostname
MacBook-Pro.local
But:
$ scutil --get HostName
HostName: not set
