I am not sure why you say obviously, because I have a feeling your
shell is doing it.
If you are using bash, check out:
echo $PROMPT_COMMAND
echo $PS1
I try not to use Red Hat, but since I am paid to use Red Hat, I have a
several systems that are configured to do this. (Of course, I can choose
to change/fix this.)
$ echo $PROMPT_COMMAND
echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"
ESC]0 is the Xterm escape sequence for changing the icon name and window
title.
