David Wright (HE12025-04-17): > Same here: coloured bash prompt, with reverse video for root.
I see your reverse-video prompt and I raise with: My *keyboard* becomes red when I type in a terminal with a root shell or processes descended from one. I had forgotten I had that enabled, though, since I almost never use a root shell, I prefer using sudo the way it is meant to be used; the rare times I do are when I do not want the command to end up in the logs, for example this one: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/mapper/st202204-ar0001 crypt-c0001.tmp <<<"va53t+rTaAW46Bh7kFWnz/K5EOq8mb1L" (do not worry, this is not the real key).
