The window title changes to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as I navigate around.
It changes correctly if I login to other linux systems. However,
If I login to hpux systems it does not.

What file contains this information?

If you're running bash, this is set by the PS1 environment variable. Mine is set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$ \[\e]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\a\] All of that gobbledygoop in the second half is caught by your xterm/konsole/whatever and used for the window title. This should be set in /etc/profile with something like this:

if [ "$PS1" ]; then

  # only print this if it's an interactive shell
  echo "/etc/profile"

  if [ "$BASH" ]; then
    PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$ '
  else
    if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
      PS1='# '
    else
      PS1='$ '
    fi
  fi

   # put [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path in the xterm/konsole title bar
   if [ "$TERM" == "xterm" ] ; then
     export PS1=$PS1"\[\e]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\a\]"
   fi

fi
