I use bash as my shell. I'm trying to set the bash prompt to display:
ttyC1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've created a .bashrc in the users home directory (in this case root), and used the following line: PS1="\l [EMAIL PROTECTED] #" When I login as root, or any other user for that matter, the default prompt is: -bash-3.2# the only way so far that I found to change the prompt is to type 'bash' at the prompt after login. This is ok, but I know that this should work the first time I login, without having to issue a standalone command. I've come to the conclusion that I need to modify another file within the /etc directory, but what? TIA, Jay
