To modifique dinamy the title you need to send escape characters:
\033]0; -> refers to title bar

In terminal you can probe:
Code:
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;New Title\007"'

Other example this chage the title every time you change directori
Code:
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;$PWD\007"'

In the profile file of the user put something like this:
Code:
case $TERM in
    xterm*)
        TITLEBAR='\[\033]0;\h:\w\007\]'
        ;;
    *)
        TITLEBAR=''
        ;;
esac
PS1="${TITLEBAR}\u@\[\033[1;34m\]\h\[\033[0m\]:\W> "
