Hi, On Hamm, if I login as root or while logged in as myself do a "su" then my shell prompt shows the host and current directory.
When I am logged in as myself my prompt is just a $ I much prefer to see the current directory in my prompt. So how do I change it? My guess was that the .bashrc in my home directory needed the same PS1 environment as the .bashrc in the root directory so I added export PS1='\h:\w\$ ' but this does not solve the problem UNLESS I login as myself and then type bash at which point the prompt changes. So I seem to have the right environment variable but do I need to put it in a different file or what? Thanks Dave Dave Warnock Sundayta Ltd www.sundayta.co.uk
