Good day, Some time ago I asked some assistance for the long hostname in the terminals. Editing .bashrc in user and root by adding PS1=xxxxxxx did make the difference. Here is something I picked up on another list that make editing .bashrc not necessary. as root.. gedit /etc/sysconfig/network # HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain change to in my case and that solves the problem HOSTNAME=johan.jan Regards Johan
