problem with hostname

[pkaplan1 at comcast.net]

kappa01@:~$ cat /etc/hostname 
wlsdev18-2 

kappa01@:~$ cat /etc/hosts 
127.0.0.1 localhost 
127.0.1.1 wlsdev18-2 
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts 
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback 
fe00::0 ip6-localnet 
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix 
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes 
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters 
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts 

As you can see, the system prompt does not include the hostname wlsdev18-2, thus my consternation especially since I did not knowingly make a change. 
Also, I am running standard 9.04 but with kubuntu rather than gnome.

Please bottom post on this list; see 
<http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists/etiquette> for 
more information. 

So, I'll assume that you are running standard Ubuntu (Gnome) 9.04. Can 
you please post the *actual* hostnames that you are using without 
obuscating? 

$ cat /etc/hosts 
$ cat /etc/hostname 

I'm wondering if perhaps you special characters in the hostname that is 
causing the issue.
