Hello,
	Now that I have 3 FreeBSD machines on my network I've developed a nasty
habbit. I tend to telnet around from machine to machine and sometimes
(well, most of the time)lossing track of where I am. I've noticed on other
linux machines/shells the host name is in the command line...Ie...

You have new mail.
# 

You have new mail.
hostname-#

Is this just a different shell or what?


Thanks!
