The name of the machine in /etc/hosts is TomSlick.xyz.com TomSlick (for

Note both are upper case:

Yet when I login as root the prompt is showing me tomslick in lower case
not a combo upper lower.

Correct. DNS is not case sensitive.

I have grepped /etc and below for tomslick and cannot find why this
machine name is not a

Because your system is following the RFC.

I have never ran into this before. Where is this???
