OK, but its doing something. When I ssh into my account, I have setup
things like my prompt to be
PS1="- $? \u@\h:\w \\$ "
But when I just "su" by it self, my prompt changes. So its picking up
the new prompt somewhere else ? Where is that being set ? I tried
/etc/profile but nada
e.g.
- 0 mike@mfitest1:~ $ echo $PS1
- 0 \u@\h:\w \$
- 0 mike@mfitest1:~ $
- 0 mike@mfitest1:~ $ su
Password:
#
# echo $PS1
#
#
PS1 being just "#" now
