The host name I think is in:
/etc/hosts
Maybe have a look in there?

Subject: Re: odd behaviour in Mavericks terminal
Hi,
I suspect something with the network settings. It’s not just the prompt as
far as I can tell, it’s the hostname.
I’d start poking around System Preferences.
Best,
Zack.

Hi Zac,
The confusing bit is how / why the prompt changes. I’ve just checked on
my main (ML) partition, and this doesn’t happen. it’s caused me no end of
grief actually trying to get mysql running. At least, I suspect it was
that though I’m possibly wrong there.

Hi,
I noticed it as well. Not sure why, it seems strange, but also pretty
obviously deliberate. Odd decision on Apple’s part.
Best,
Zack.

evening all,
Here’s a strange one. Under previous versions of OSX, the terminal
prompt on my mac looked like:
DonalFitzpatricksMacbookPro:~dfitzpat$
which is all very normal. However something very strange is happening
under Mavericks.
If I run terminal, the prompt now looks like:
donalfiricksmbp:~
In other words my name and the type of machine is abbreviated. There is
an anomaly to this. If I run terminal, then do a restart, terminal
opens up on system boot up. However, it opens up with the prompt:
DonalFitzpatricksMacbookPro:~$
Anyone know why this should be the case?
Cheers,
Dónal dfitzpat$
