Hi Stan,

Most likely your a victim of an update. Goto;

Computer -> Yast -> Network Devices -> Network Settings.

Under "Hostname/DNS" change the hostname as desired and possibly the Domain Name.

Under "Overview". Edit connection and change hostname here as well.

That should do it,

No Cigar. Those were places I looked earlier. Under Hostname/DNS, the name and domain are as they should be (chipotle and hashkedim.com). Under Overview > Edit, the name is chipotle; I see no place for domain.

As far as I can see, the right entries are in all the right places, but are ignored in terminal windows.

This is a laptop, BTW, and is under DHCP.

Stan, What do you see from the laptop if you connect to it via ssh/telnet from another computer? Do you get the correct prompt then? If so, it may simply be that your terminal's prompt setting has changed. From memory I think this is set in an environment variable, which can be overwritten in ~/.bashrc (for the local user) or globally in /etc/bash.bashrc or /etc/bash.bashrc.local (one of the 3). Indeed in my ~/.bashrc I have the following line to set the prompt for local terminal sessions: PS1="\t \u@\h:\w> " HTH.

There's an option somewhere in YaST like "set hostname from DHCP" you might want to try to toggle that off. if you still have issues, edit /etc/resolve. Don't remove localhost, but put your correct hostname before localhost, such as:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain => change to: 127.0.0.1 chipotle localhost localhost.localdomain

OR

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain chipotle => change to: 127.0.0.1 chipotle localhost localhost.localdomain

In default CentOS install I need to add DHCP_HOSTNAME in sysconfig, but I have never seen such a thing in openSUSE. -- Med Vennlig Hilsen,

What happens if you run this command #hostname -f This should tell you full host name of your box, you could try this to set your host name. hostname <thehostnameyourwantypehere> With out the -f type the name of host you want, then trying running the command above, you should see the name you type.
