Can't set bash prompt

2006-05-22 Thread Jorge Peixoto
One of the users of this machine has a wrong bash prompt. It works well on a virtual console, but on xterm or gnome-terminal, PS1 is set to \s-\v\$ , which is very unhelpful. But this user's .bashrc is identical to mine (as told by md5sum), and I don't have this problem, so I don't know what to do.
