Multiple customers have now requested scripts for setting hostnames on macOS, and a couple for Linux. This adds scripts to the solutions folder for that purpose. Linux tested against `Ubuntu 26.04` and `openSUSE Tumbleweed` macOS tested against `Tahoe 26.4.1` <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Added an automated Linux hostname configuration solution that derives a hostname from the device serial, applies it system-wide, and updates host entries. * Added an automated macOS hostname configuration solution that sets ComputerName/LocalHostName/HostName from the device serial and reports the new hostname. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

Best Practices
General
- Name the file what the profile does.
- For example, instead of
googlePlayProtectVerifyApps.json(the name of the Android policy for this control), describe what it does:enforce-google-play-protect.json.
- For example, instead of
- Use kebab case in file names, with all letters in lowercase.
- Instead of
passwordPolicy.json, usepassword-policy.json.
- Instead of
- Be sure to end files with an empty newline.
symlinks
If a solution is applicable to multiple platforms, keep the original in the main platform directory and symlink it to the other platforms. For example, if an Apple configuration profile can be used on both macOS and iOS, use macOS as the source, and create a symlink in the iOS directory.
cd docs/solutions/ios-ipados/configuration-profiles/- Note that this is the destination that we want the symlink to be in.
ln -s ../../macos/configuration-profiles/my-profile.mobileconfig .- The
.here at the end means the current directory, and will use the same file name as the original (which is what we want).
- The
git add profile.mobileconfiggit commit
