I recently noticed an unusual "username" appearing in my Terminal window. Usually when I open Terminal I see something like this:
Ryans-MacBook-Pro:~ ryan$
But recently when I've logged on I see this:
GIS-NicoDellLaptop:~ ryan$
This is quite strange to me, and I don't remember seeing it before. I don't know anyone named Nico, and I don't own a Dell laptop.
If I turn off my internet, and run the command "exit bash", then I open a new Terminal window, I see what is expected: Ryans-MacBook-Pro:~ ryan$
Yet, as soon as I connect to the internet, when I open a Terminal window, I again see: GIS-NicoDellLaptop:~ ryan$
If I "exit bash" again and open a new terminal window, it stays there. I can only get rid of it by using "exit bash" if I'm disconnected from the internet.
Remote Login, Screen Sharing, Remote Management are OFF.
Using this command: dscl . list /Users | grep -v '^_'
I see that there aren't any new users that have been created on the system.
However I do see over 800 entries in the system.log file related to GIS-NicoDellLap.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Ryan
