Create a file called /etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-xterm
with contents
#!/bin/bash
echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD} [ `tty | sed -e
"s:/dev/::"` ]\007"
watch for line wrap in e-mail
You can edit to suit your taste but the above gives
[molloyt@mufc ~]$
Then make sure your users have bash as their shell in the password file
not sh.
