Looks like debian and ubuntu hosts have the SYS_BASHRC definition set, which will source /etc/bash.bashrc before ~/.bashrc on non-interactive logins. Seems like the easiest fix is to move the PS1 setting to ~lfs/.bashrc, but it probably doesn't affect anything to leave the ubuntu settings. On the other hand, the whole point of that setup is to get full control over the shell environment, and now you have arbitrary things being set from /etc/bash.bashrc. Probably the only true way to avoid this is to build your own bash and run it. The other way is to run the interactive shell with --posix and ENV set. cat > ~/.bash_profile << "EOF" exec env -i HOME=$HOME TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$ ' ENV=$HOME/.bashrc /bin/bash --posix EOF Of course, you lose all the nice bashisms, though. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
