Great.
Then the issue is likely your shell config... bash by default.
However, I thought bash was setup to update title by default.
It seems to here.
Have you modified any of your bash files? ~/.bashrc, etc?
cat .bashrc
# .bashrc
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi
# User specific aliases and functions
alias mooch='ssh -YC mooch'
alias breadboard='ssh -l xxx -p xxx xxxt.com'
alias cms='ssh -l xxx -p xxx xxx.com'
alias linode='ssh -p xxx linode.sterndata.com'
$ cat .bash_profile
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
