I don't really care where it comes from and what you say doesn't
actually make sense to me.

One system that I ssh into doesn't present either my name or the
system's host name, other systems *do* give my name and the host name.
These are all Linux systems and I'm logging in from the same client to
all of them.  So - how does one manage not to present user name and
host name while all the others do?
