Terminal dummy client-108 ***What?***

[Lanzelot]

O.k. this is my issue I have problems indexing the entourage database. I read multiple solution on the web and they suggest multiple Terminal operations.

I just realized there is something new in my Terminal:

dummy-client-108:~ [myuser]$

I have never seen the dummy-client-108 before. I think I have to find the way to get rid of it and only have [myuser]$ when I open the terminal...

I think if I fix this all the problems indexing the spotlight database should go away...

any suggestions?

Best,

Check the computer name under  -> System Preferences -> Sharing.

dummy client-108 is the name of your machine. The $PS1 environment variable sets the prompt. Type "echo $PS1" to see it, like so...

echo $PS1
\h:\W \u\$

The backslash h is your hostname.

Edit /etc/bashrc and remove the \h:
