None of the above. It's not a bug. Your encoded string does not have a trailing newline, and your $PS1 settings don't inject a starting newline, so the behavior is expected. If you want to guarantee a trailing newline, then add one manually: > 1. run the following code in bash terminal: > echo OHBjcWNLNGlQaVF5 | openssl base64 -d echo OHBjcWNLNGlQaVF5 | openssl base64 -d && echo or modify your PS1 to start with a newline request. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
