Hi there,

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.

You might want to add the correct hostname in /etc/sysconfig/network, so
that the change will survive reboots ...

Cheers,
