His ssh session displays localhost and not the actual hostname. AFAIK this is the default when using ssh with X-forwarding. It uses "localhost:10.0" as the display, thus the prompt displays localhost. I have not seen that when using ssh with a standard terminal. His solution seems likely to be related to something in X or ssh and not simply the system network/hostname settings.
