for some reasons bash writes out my host's mac address as a result of including \h in PS1. Do you know why? This was not always so.
[gergoe@x0-13-xx-xx-xx-xx ~]$ echo $PS1 [\u@\h \W]$
What does "hostname -f" come back with?
[gergoe@x0-13-8f-52-82-28 ~]$ hostname -f hostname: Unknown host
After this I set hostname with the similarly-named command and now it works, thanks for the tip.
