I finally figured out how to establish a PPP connection as a user and
not root <whew> with Linux (RH 5.1 kernel 2.0.35), however I find it
stange (and a little worrysome) that after killing the connection and
the XWindow server that the screen prompt no longer reads @localhost it
reads @ various other things. This bothers me a little. 

I do have my /etc/hosts.allow file as "ALL: 127.0.0.1" and my
/etc/hosts.deny file as "ALL: ALL". 

Why does my prompt show that I'm on another host? Does this have
something to do with my ISP and DNS? I haven't a clue. Somehow, I don't
think it should say that. Is there a way I can make it not do that? Is
this a security concern?
