Package: bash Version: 3.1dfsg-8 Severity: normal If a user is not listed in /etc/passwd, because it is read from LDAP, the default PS1 prompt variable \u does not work, showing 'I have no name!' instead of the username. Commands such as 'ls -l' and 'whoami' show the correct username.
Default: PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$ ' Using LOGNAME instead of \u works.
