It depend on the shell you use.
For (t)csh you set the prompt variable in ~/.cshrc

set prompt = "`hostname -s`>%/# "
gives:
it>/usr/ports# pwd
/usr/ports

it being the hostname.


do a man csh and search for `prompt' (press / and write prompt and then
ENTER; for search again press / and ENTER) untill you get to the
`prompt' in the variables section, where you can see all teh options.
