It's from /etc/bashrc . After noticing that my prompt string had also changed: hennebry at Microknoppix ~]$ echo $PS1 [\u@\h \W]\$ I tried [hennebry at Microknoppix ~]$ hostname Microknoppix.midcoip.net My inference is that Knoppix was talking to DNS and told it my name was Microknoppix.midcoip.net . hostname thenameiwant should do the trick.
