I think the original question was worded a bit wrong???? From the
question, he may have been actually looking for command prompt settings -
not login prompt.
Anyway, if so then, to set your command prompt to read "systemname#", put
the following into your .bash_profile:
PS1="\\h\\$ "
Hope this helps,
