That's funny, someone else just asked why his Terminal prompt shows "littlebuddy" when he upgraded to 10.6.

You don't have bogon in your Sharing System Preferences? If you set your computer name to something else, does it still say bogon?

I just posted a detailed reply about where "bogon" could have come from.
