I'm doing a lot of sshing these days and it helps if the prompt line reflects the computer I am working on rather than just saying "localhost". How does one permanently display the hostname in the command prompt, aside from changing the command prompt itself. I've tried using "hostname <newname>" and it works until the machine is rebooted, but then it comes back with "localhost". I can't find /etc/hostname either. How and where is hostname set and how does one alter it ? Thanks. -- Kim Lux (Mr.) Diesel Research Inc
