Almost have it working... The only thing i'm noticing is that when I (Ctrl+a
c) to make a new screen, it seems to be parsing the hostname of the box
screen is running on, rather than parsing the hostname of the server I ssh
to shortly after making the screen. Does that make sense?  In other words,
all of the screen title names are the name of the local hostname.  I want to
be able to ssh to another server and have it change my screen title to the
host I've connected to. Any input? 

 

p.s. here's the relevant parts of my screenrc, and my PS1 in .bashrc

export PS1='address@hidden \w \$ '
