Maybe this works:
export PS1="$LOGNAME `uname -n` \$> "

Hi,

First,
PS1 must capital letter due to case sensitivy.

And small correction:

# export PS1="`whoami` in `uname -n`#"

Hi,

What Hakki Aydin is said is correct.

command should be always in `` not in ''.

put the below given entry in .profile
export PS1="`whoami` in `uname -n`#"
