One of the annoying things about Leopard is that it keeps changing the hosting to whatever the DNS server dishes out and in my case its something like 12-32-145-23.config, not the most pretty/useful naming convention.
Also means that it looks really ugly on the terminal. So here are the commands to reset it permanently so that it doesn’t change again after a reboot.
$ sudo hostname foobox.local
$ sudo scutil --set HostName foobox.local
$ sudo scutil --set LocalHostName foobox
