Question/Concern with my Arch Linux Linode

I typically login to my Linode Arch server daily with ssh, and I always use my domain name to do it like so:

ssh mydomain.com

I have root login disabled, and use the same username as my local Arch box, but with a different password. This means I have to supply the password while connecting.

Usually when I login the prompt in the terminal looks like this:

[username@mydomain.com ~]

But when I logged in today it shows something like this: (changed slightly just to be safe)

[username@li563-7 ~]

I checked the rc.conf file, and the Hostname has not been changed.

Any ideas what might have happened?

Shouldn't you ask Linode?

Re: Question/Concern with my Arch Linux Linode

Have you received an answer from linode?

I have exactly the same problem since I updated and rebooted yesterday and it messes up my configs.

I have submitted a ticket, but if you already know how to solve it, let me know.

maybe hostname command is not available anymore in your system.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Yes of course that's the solution.

Thank you very much, everything working now.
