If you are using bash, take a look at the user's ~/.bashrc or the system
wide /etc/profile.  In either of these locations you should be able to set
something like the following:

  PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"'

Which should set the title of the terminal window to the user@hostname:
pwd.
