Sorry to necro the thread; was reading through my archives and found
this message just now :)

In /etc/profile:
# ---- cut here ----
[ $BASH ] && . /etc/bash.bashrc
PS1='foo $ '
# ---- cut here ----
With this method you can set PS1 to be compatible with POSIX-compliant
shells, but if the user happens to choose bash you've got the full range
of bash options available. The bash version is in /etc/bash.bashrc
Note that I have only tested this with [db]ash, not {c,k,pdk}sh.
