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.
