I'll check tonight.

     The following code has been tested with GNU Emacs 22.  You
     should put it into your `~/.emacs':

          (defconst my-mode-line-buffer-identification
            (list
             '(:eval
               (let ((host-name
                    (if (file-remote-p default-directory)
                        (tramp-file-name-host
                         (tramp-dissect-file-name default-directory))
                      (system-name))))
                 (if (string-match "^[^0-9][^.]*\\(\\..*\\)" host-name)
                   (substring host-name 0 (match-beginning 1))
                 host-name)))
             ": %12b"))

          (setq-default
           mode-line-buffer-identification
           my-mode-line-buffer-identification)

          (add-hook
           'dired-mode-hook
           '(lambda ()
              (setq
               mode-line-buffer-identification
               my-mode-line-buffer-identification)))

Maybe it shall be enabled by default?

Best regards, Michael.
