Change login name of the PI

[osty]

When I want to enter the PI I you see following
login as: pi
pi@192.16x.x.xxx's password:

Is their a way to change the "pi@192.16x.x.xxx's" to a NAME?

Thanks for your advice

That's because the machine you're connecting from can't resolve the name for your RPi.

Some home routers will run a DNS or mDNS (aka Bonjour) server and allow you to use hostname.lan or hostname.local names. Otherwise you'll need to run bind9 or dnsmasq on your RPi to provide a local resolver.

And if you want to change the name of "pi", try these:

1 Enable root account. Not only giving the root a password, but also if I remember correctly, that now the sshd config do not allow remote root login, you need some change to it.

2 Login as root.

3 "usermod -l login-name old-name", so change "pi" to "greater" would be "usermod -l greater pi"

4 Logout. Then login as "greater".

5 Disable root account.
